The Jackson Foundation celebrates milestone To celebrate a year since completing its expansion, the Jackson Foundation team recently launched an exhibition titled Cot: A Cornish Valley, in which Kurt Jackson, one of Britain’s leading contemporary artists, follows Cornwall’s most westerly valley, from the source of its stream on exposed heathland to the coast, where it feeds into the Atlantic ocean.
To bring this show to life, the Foundation has partnered with the RSPB to increase numbers of the iconic and endangered Cornish chough. It’s also working with the University of Exeter, which provides insights into the local geology. For more information visit www.jacksonfoundationgallery.com
Beautiful and ambitious (we’d expect nothing less in this stunning, world-class art space), this body of work sees Jackson explore the watercourse’s impact on its surroundings, from hamlets that have sprung up on its banks and the industry it has supported, to the wildlife it continues to nurture.

ornwall is a cup-half-full type of place. We love the idea of inspiring, creative individuals, independently tinkering away across the Duchy, from artists and writers to technology entrepreneurs. To this list we can add drinks producers – alchemists, expertly honing their craft to produce liquid gold. Delve a little deeper, you discover a refreshingly wide range of producers, from one-man-in-a-shed homebrews to internationally acclaimed ciders, and wines with the royal seal of approval. In fact Cornwall has the largest amount of breweries per capita in the country. Or, in other words, you’re never too far from a decent, local brew! One thread that seems to run throughout is a genuine passion for their craft, coupled with a desire to promote the south west’s phenomenal produce proof that ornwall can co pete ery confidently on the world stage. Another key focus is family, with skills, secret recipes and knowledge passing down from one generation to the next. Now, all in the name of authenticity – in order to fully translate the sensory experience to the page – it was deemed necessary to carry out some primary research for this article at various breweries, vineyards, distilleries and cider orchards across Cornwall. As usual, we must stress that with so many wonderful producers out there, we couldn’t possibly cover them all… despite our best efforts! So we’ve ust gi en a fla our of the i ense offering e implore you to embark on an adventure of your own.

Vineyards
We’re ever lauding Cornwall’s unique microclimate, but the proof really is in the produce. Our milder climate makes Cornwall one of the best places in the UK for growing grapes. A perfect example of this is POLGOON VINEYARD & ORCHARD set in a beautiful position in a sheltered bowl on the outskirts of Penzance, protected from the prevailing winds (www.polgoon.com). Polgoon is a producer of award-winning artisan wines, ciders and juices, with family at its heart. Indeed take a tour around the vineyard and you’re bound to bump into at least one family member somewhere! We visit the onsite café, The Vine House Kitchen, to meet owner Kim Coulson and her daughter, Emma, for a chat, over an exquisite crab sandwich (served by another daughter Millie). “We have six children,” explains Kim, “who have all worked there in various jobs over the years. Everyone gets stuck in! We started with just the sticks in the ground, learning along the way and gradually growing the vineyard and business to where it is now, with 13 permanent staff throughout year rising to 19 in summer and picking season. Bob Lindo of Camel Valley was very generous and helpful when we were starting out.”
At time of writing, the family and their team are shortly about to start picking and making wine. Polgoon has just released its 2016 Bacchus, along with its 2014 sparklings. We are keen to discover Kim’s favourite bottle. “The Pinot noir sparkling rosé. Everyone loves a pink sparkly, it’s delicious!” Emma’s favourite wine, meanwhile is the Seyval blanc sparkling white. “Pink is a more traditional style bubbly,” explains Emma, “but the Seyval is unique and more contemporary”. We can confir it s dry and delicious As well as traditional wines, Polgoon produces spar ling elderflower and raspberry wines, ciders, and non-alcoholic uices presses and fizzy soft drin s Another to put on your list is the familyrun BOSUE VINEYARD in St Ewe in south Cornwall, near the Lost Gardens of Heligan (www.bosuevineyard.co.uk).

We are tending to focus on the sparkling wines as the Cornish climate see s to i part a special fla our to the grapes which is reflected in the wine hese sparkling white and rosé wines are fantastic for a Cornish wedding, celebration or that special Cornish Christmas.” Paul’s favourite? “It has to be the white sparkling as I have fond memories of serving this at our daughter’s wedding. She had been closely involved in planting and looking after the vines, as well as picking the grapes and making the wine.” If venturing to the Isles of Scilly, there’s plenty more to enjoy, including HOLY VALE WINES on St Mary’s (www.holyvalewines.co.uk). Originally wine merchants, stocking wines from across the globe, from 2009 the team managed to acquire (in their own words “beg, steal or borrow”) pockets of land across the island to grow their own grapes and produce their own wine ts ery first intage for sale is a Another to note is ST MARTIN’S VINEYARD, lovingly run by Val and Graham Thomas (www.stmartinsvineyard.co.uk). This vineyard began in 1996 with the planting of just 30 vines, growing to over 2000 vines of
11 different varieties, across four acres. Production is at the liberty of the elements, with 2014 being a particularly good year. We recommend a tour on your next visit.
Distilleries
n ore recent years ornwall s profile has been rising dramatically as a producer of spirits, with several key players reaching a larger national and international audience. CURIO SPIRITS COMPANY is one of the ain trail lazers in this field (www.curiospiritscompany.co.uk). Based near Mullion on the Lizard, this company uses Cornish spring water, and fragrant botanicals to create thirst-quenching gin, distilled four times, and infused with rock samphire, foraged by hand on the surrounding cliffs. It also produces two vodkas – one infused with cardamom, the other with Peruvian cocoa nibs – and its very own ‘Cornish Cup’, a blend of Curio gin and botanicals, including tea blends, to create a refreshing drink to go with lemonade or ginger beer. The bottles themselves are things of real beauty, as warm and welcoming as the contents they hold. (Discover more about Curio on page 67)

Breweries
raft eer has a real depth of fla our that you won t find in typical ass-produced eers and lagers. As we discover on a visit to SKINNER’S BREWERY, there’s a lot to brewing beer... a bit of chemistry and art, skilfully blended together (www.skinnerbrewery.com). Steve Skinner and his family were lured to Cornwall, largely by the surf (son Ben is a pro-surfer and they named their recent pale ale Porthleven after the iconic surf break). A genuine trailblazer, Steve was ahead of the curve, foreseeing the rise of craft beers and, in particular, modern pale and golden ales. 20 years on, business is booming, achieving both national and international acclaim. Yet it remains a real family business to this day. Daughter Louise is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the beer, brewing process, and ingredients used – how different variations of hops and grain create uni ue fla ours and intensities For many a brewery (much like bakers), its yeast is a key part of its identity, integral in maintaining consistency of taste, character and quality. Like his beers, Steve is larger than life, and his mischievous touch runs through Skinner’s entire ethos. But when it comes to beer, it’s serious business and they are clearly devoted to their craft he walls laden with certificates and awards, are testament to this. They are proud to stick largely to traditional, ages-old methods and equipment, and this heritage makes its way into the beer. As Steve tells us, while the demand is there, he’s keen not to lose what made Skinner’s so special in the first place t s i portant ne er to forget where we came from.” Steve’s favourite tipple? “I’ll always have a soft spot for ornish noc er eing our first at the time a very modern beer. But it has to be Lushingtons. It’s slightly drier, and my palate is moving towards drier and hoppier beers. Hoppy beers are the growing trend.” Steve praises the talents of the wider Cornish brewing community. “We’re naturally creative down here. There are lots of great brewers in Cornwall.” And Skinner’s Head Brewer, Paola Leather, is proof that beer production needn’t be restricted by outmoded gender stereotypes. Another brewery with a strong female lead is ALES OF SCILLY on St Mary’s, now led by Head Brewer Jen Trevithick, originally from Falmouth (www.alesofscilly.co.uk) his fine microbrewery has been producing quality craft ales for over 15 years.

The distinctive Devon Crimson Queen apple
David Berwick of St Ives Cider
Orchards and cider makers
The West Country has a strong and widely recognised heritage of cider making. But as we discovered from Barrie Gibson at Fowey Valley Cider, ‘Champagne’ style sparkling wine (and cider) actually has its origins in the West Country, in the early 17th century, long before a certain Dom Pérignon came on the scene. Bottled wine, imported from France, would continue fermenting in the bottle back in England, creating a fizz when opened hile this fizz was temperamental, it was discovered (on this side of the channel) that adding a little sugar helped the second fer entation ensuring a consistent fizz From 1615, burning coal to produce glass instead of charcoal (when oak was required by James I for building warships), enabled stronger, thicker bottles, less prone to exploding under pressure – tellingly known as the ‘Verre Anglais’. This glass production was patented by Sir Robert Mansell, one-time MP for Lostwithiel. Fowey Valley Cider is famed for its Champagne style sparkling ciders (www.foweyvalleycider.co.uk). As Barrie tells us, the Fowey valley was once laden with orchards and he is proud to continue the tradition of cider making in this beautiful part of the world, gaining acclaim for his deliciously crisp ciders and cider products, including vinegar. (Discover more about Fowey Valley Cider on page 11) Run by David and Kate Berwick, ST IVES CIDER is a small company that packs a huge fla our (www.stivescider.co.uk). In fact, hot off the press, we’re delighted to learn that St Ives Cider has just won an extremely prestigious international award for its ground-breaking cider at the recent World Cider Awards. Congratulations to David and Kate for this phenomenal achievement – we’ll certainly drink to that! Situated in the scenic Allen valley, near St Mabyn on the outskirts of Wadebridge, you’ll find HAYWOOD FARM CIDER, the creation of Tom Bray (www.haywoodfarmcider.co.uk). Cider making is truly in Tom’s blood, as is clear from the ancient granite cider press on the grounds. Westnorth Manor Farm, on the south coast, is home to CORNISH ORCHARDS, a venture started by Andy Atkinson, keen to restore traditional orchards and create an environment for wildlife to thrive (www.cornishorchards.co.uk). As well as ciders, they produce tasty ginger beer, juices and soft drinks. We really have only just scratched the surface of the staggeringly vast array of drinks producers here in Cornwall. In shining a spotlight on just a few of them, we hope to inspire you to make a few discoveries of your own – cheers!

et in a wonderfully peaceful semi-rural location, Pawton Stream in the Parish of St Breock on the outskirts of Wadebridge feels wonderfully tucked away yet within easy access of the bustling town itself and the many attractions of the north coast. This traditionally styled property is the epitome of Cornish country living, being a characterful, hung-slate and dressed stone building, nestled in a lush, green valley, but due to its modern construction, it comes without the maintenance. Inside, it is beautifully presented, combining traditional materials with contemporary touches to create an extremely luxurious home. Ideal for countryphiles and horse lovers, as well as its own 1.5 acres of grounds, which include a former stable building, the current owners also rent a further ten acres from the Duchy of Cornwall for a nominal rate. What’s more, the addition of a holiday lodge and a further lucrative business on the site that provides substantial income, makes this both a fantastic home and also a great lifestyle business opportunity. This is a particularly desirable location, with nearby Wadebridge offering a wide range of boutiques, bars and bistros. The renowned Camel Trail cycle path runs along the picturesque banks of the river Camel, leading downstream to Padstow or upstream to the pretty village Nanstallon and eventually on the newly remodelled cycle friendly town of Bodmin. Just a short journey away are the popular towns of Padstow and Rock, sitting opposite each other on the Camel estuary, collectively offering golden sandy beaches, world-class surfing and sailing opportunities and championship golf courses overlooking the sea.

he north coast of Cornwall has long been a popular destination with its dramatic, rugged coastline steeped in legend and lore, and pretty harbour villages. Boscastle is an exemplary example, a cluster of traditional stonebuilt cottages at the bottom of the valley leading out to the Atlantic. Under a mile around the coast, perched high above the crashing waves below, is Hillsborough Farm, a picturesque Grade II Listed farmstead. Along with the Old Farmhouse there are two stunning letting properties, the Hayloft and Boat House, all savouring those jaw-dropping views over the cliffs, sea and surrounding countryside. An opportunity such as this is a rare find indeed in this area, offering the chance for a dream lifestyle by the sea, with fantastic commercial potential. The Old Farmhouse abounds with character and charm, with the traditional and contemporary brought together to wonderful effect. The family kitchen breakfast room opens onto the rear garden with stunning coastal views, while upstairs are four very comfortable bedrooms and a sumptuous family bathroom. What’s more, the additional downstairs reception room, with its en suite, doors onto the garden and seas views could be utilised a guest bedroom, providing potential B&B income. The additional buildings make this a particularly lucrative proposition. The Boat House is a gorgeous self-contained cottage with floor-to-ceiling glazing capitalising on those all-important views. The Hayloft is a wonderful converted barn, again offering fantastic accommodation and views to match. With sandy beaches, the acclaimed restaurants of Port Isaac and the legendary Tintagel castle all within easy reach, Hillsborough Farm really is perfectly positioned for exploring this lovely stretch of the north coast.

In fact, there’s a level of craftsmanship in each of the team’s builds, a level that, over the years, has become somewhat of a trademark in the Legacy stable. To ensure an unrivalled level of quality is maintained across all their projects, the team prefers not to instruct a main contractor, but to instead employ its own in-house construction team. Employing a ‘brick by brick’ approach, they combine a matchless level of dedication with a wealth of

So, it’s with high standards, passion and expertise that Legacy launched The Rocks, the optimum in luxurious living in Hollywell Bay, on the north coast of Cornwall. ach ho e enefits fro a stylish openplan living, kitchen and dining area, as well as wide-plan engineered oa flooring and re ote access underfloor heating This means that not only is there a real coastal feel about the décor all year round, but each home remains cosy, even in the colder months. The kitchen itself is Cornish-built, from contemporary brand Treyone, boasting 20mm stone worktops as well as Neff appliances, further proof that these homes were created with quality in mind. And, if you plan to have guests over, speakers in the ceiling are great for entertaining, without the footprint of a traditional hi-fi syste pstairs to the edroo s and you ll find brushed stainless furniture and 100% wool carpets, which are great for sinking your toes into on those cooler mornings. The master bedroom has a built-in wardrobe and even its own en-suite! Outside, there’s a turfed private garden, with all houses enjoying their own plots, as well as a paved area with feature lighting, external power – great for balmy afternoon parties – and a tap, which certainly comes in handy when returning home from the beach, covered in sand. Living in Hollywell Bay is perfect for anybody who loves rolling sand dunes, lapping waves and ocean views for miles. From its tucked-away location between Penhale Point and Helsey Head, Hollywell Bay is just six miles west of the popular seaside
town ew uay where you ll find a wealth of fine dining options fro ic tein s istral to Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen Cornwall. Hollywell Bay each is a fir fa ourite for local surfers and spectators alike, while the iconic ‘Gull Rocks’ make a stunning sight when the sun’s going down. There’s also plenty to keep the family entertained, including a fun park for the kids, a golf course for those who fancy a leisurely 18 holes, as well as plethora of coastal walks for those days where you want to wake up, lace up your boots and just get outside. The best part, however, is that despite being so close to one of Cornwall’s most happening resorts, Hollywell Bay feels a world away, like a true coastal escape. So, there we are. Legacy Properties are once again surpassing all expectations, and when you consider everything the area has to offer, as well as the luxury that each home at The Rocks exudes, you’ve got a coastal living opportunity that, quite simply, won’t be beaten. With half the properties already reserved, you’d better get in quick to secure your own slice of paradise.

NEWQUAY
d e r e v o c s i d re
We take another look at this popular resort to see why it’s becoming a top year-round destination for foodies and families.
ABOVE One of the many unique retreats in Newquay that you could stay in with Forever Cornwall INSET A classic dish at The Fish House, Fistral BELOW Newquay is home to several award-winning beaches
N
ewquay has been a popular destination for generations, and with seven miles of beaches, stunning clifftops and a laid back pace it’s not hard to see why. And over recent years this iconic seaside town has undergone a quiet transformation, shrugging off its old stag-party image and both rediscovering its roots as a wholesome family destination and adding more sophisticated credentials into the mix. Now it’s easy to see why foodies and coastal path walkers, as well as surf aficionados are redisco ering ew uay as a year-round destination of choice. Starting with the beaches, Newquay has some of Europe's best – and they can prove it. Crantock beach was voted the UK’s best beach by BBC Coast in 2013, Lusty Glaze is Sunday Times’ 2017 beach of the year, and Fistral Beach has come in second place in the Trip Advisor Travellers’ Choice Awards 2017. An added bonus for dog-lovers is that many of Newquay’s best beaches are dog-friendly all year round. The nice thing for grown-up travellers is that some of Cornwall’s best eateries are in and around Newquay – and many are right by the beach! Choose from the big names
ic tein s fish and chips at istral or Jamie Oliver’s 15 Cornwall at Watergate Bay, or go for one of the excellent independent restaurants. We particularly rate The Fish House at Fistral (winner of Best Restaurant Gold Award in the 2017 Cornwall Tourism Awards) and Bush Pepper (an unexpectedly brilliant Australian Cornish fusion!). You’ll need the perfect base for your perfect escape to Newquay and Forever Cornwall Unique Retreats has some lovely hand-picked apartments, any of which make an ideal base for a break for two – or for discerning families. Forever Cornwall’s apartments are all in Newquay’s quietest areas. Most have sea views and some are dog-friendly too. And at just under three hours by car from Bristol, getting to Newquay is easy so it makes a great short-break option. What’s more it’s on the rail network too with a station near the town centre so you can plan a car-free break for a really stress-free Cornish experience.

A winter
WONDER Enjoy a wild wintery escape at Artist Residence in Penzance.
W MAIN Enjoy a cosy, country-house feeling INSET Each room is as charming as it is unique
ell, it’s here. Winter has well and truly arrived, and the dark, cold evenings have us all dreaming of a cosy getaway. Whilst west Cornwall is best known for its beautiful beaches and summer holidays, there is actually a great deal to be said for a wintery escape to the wild west coast; blustery cliff walks, storm watching from a cosy harbourside pub, wandering the winding streets of galleries and gift shops without the crowds… the list goes on. And for a suitably off-beat retreat, boutique bolthole Artist Residence is the perfect base, tucked away in a charming side street in the coastal town Penzance. Opened in 2011, Artist Residence Penzance is the second in a small group of familyrun boutique hotels founded by young couple, Justin and Charlotte Salisbury. A selection of ‘Arty’ bedrooms are adorned with murals by British artists, whilst ‘House’ rooms are designed by the couple in their own eclectic style, featuring vintage and reclaimed furnishings – Sri Lankan tea chests make statement bedside tables, whilst green glass bottles become table lamps – all complemented by a quirky selection of limited edition art prints. Luxurious bathrooms feature powerful rainfall showers, some with freestanding bathtubs, whilst the bedrooms have comfy king size beds and mini Smeg fridges stocked with locally sourced goodies. Opt for The Lookout suite for the best in the house – complete with copper bathtub, kitchenette
and a log burner for cosy evenings in, looking out over the Penzance rooftops to Mousehole. For larger groups The Cottage is available for up to six adults. And the cosiness need not stop there. ownstairs you ll find rustic s o ehouse restaurant and bar, The Cornish Barn, with a comforting and hearty menu using local eat and fish the eer- an hic en is a favourite, gently smoked on a can of ale for a deliciously distincti e and rich fla our There’s a comfy bar and lounge for pre or post dinner drinks, complete with squashy sofas and a log burner, making this the perfect spot to unwind and cosy up with a glass of wine or two.

““They look so real and everybody mentions the confidence they have given me... I’m free again.” LYNN
LIFE CHANGING DENTISTRY Stop worrying about your teeth and get on with your life
These days nobody needs to be troubled by their teeth. If you don’t feel confident smiling, if you have trouble chewing your food, or if you’d simply like to look “better”, then advanced dentistry treatments such as dental implants can change your life. Dental implants offer a permanent solution to missing or failing teeth. They can boost self-confidence and help people to smile again.
DENTURE STABILISATION
The highly trained team at Pure Dental Health in Truro has over 35 years combined dental implant experience and have placed over 6,500 dental implants to date. They are also capable of complex bone and gum grafting procedures that other clinics do not offer. Having attended hundreds of courses both in the UK and abroad, patients can receive the latest advancements in Implantology. You can be safe in the knowledge that your treatment is delivered by highly qualified professionals in a relaxing caring environment.
SINGLE OR MULTIPLE MISSING TEETH
FIXED TEETH IN A DAY A revolutionary approach which has radically changed the replacement of lost teeth. In suitable patients we can replace a conventional removable denture, remove failing teeth if required, place new implants and fix a full restoration all in one day. Avoiding the need to live with a temporary denture in between having your existing teeth extracted and the new dental implants placed. You will only require one surgical process instead of multiple ones. The shortened time means that the whole process is more cost effective than alternative methods.
Loose dentures can cause frustration and embarrassment in social situations and make it impossible to eat certain types of food, with detrimental effects to digestion and overall health. Usually with loose dentures people resort to using lots of denture adhesive, which can leave an unpleasant taste in the mouth as well as being cumbersome to clean. Dental implants can help to stabilise your dentures allowing you to eat what you like.
When you have lost a tooth, the equilibrium in your mouth is upset. If it’s a large tooth at the back of your mouth, you will start having to eat on the other side, which puts more pressure on those teeth. Over time this could cause them to break and be lost. If it’s a front tooth, this could have a massive effect on your self-confidence. Dental implants provide comfort, stability and are the closest thing to natural teeth. HOW COULD PURE DENTAL HEALTH HELP YOU? We offer free treatment adviser appointments where a highly qualified member of our team will make recommendations after listening to your personal situation. We also have regular offers on assessments. Why not contact us today on 01872 222404 to see how we can help take away your worry.

LIGHT UP

P ABOVE Get cosy round the fire at Polgooth Inn, near St Austell INSET Hearty food and a proper Cornish pint RIGHT See Polgooth lit up this Christmas
olgooth Inn, which means ‘goose pond’ in Cornish, is steeped in history. By the 18th century, the village had the richest mine in the UK, celebrated for being the greatest tin mine in the world. The inn was used as the Pay House and at one stage, the bar is thought to have been shared with chickens, ducks, the odd horse and, more recently, a crisp-eating sheep named Bubbles! Now, this beautiful rural valley pub near St Austell offers comfortable, relaxed surroundings and a warm, friendly atmosphere. It’s a lovely little spot, and whether it’s catching up with friends over a glass of wine or a pint, enjoying a quick lunchtime bite, or sitting down for an extended evening dinner with the whole gang, nothing is too much trouble for the team. This winter, if you’re out and about walking the dog, you’re both guaranteed a warm welcome, so why not pop in and a e the ost of the cosy open fires he menu, which is characterised by the sheer wealth of options includes everything from traditional pub classics, to the chefs’ own seasonal signature dishes, and makes the most of locally grown produce. In fact, the pub has its very own kitchen garden, with

herbs, vegetables and salad growing in it – it doesn’t get any fresher than that! What really makes Polgooth stand out, however, is that it’s a family run community pub, run by staff who really listen to their customers. Indeed, Landlord and Landlady, Alex and Tanya Williams work very closely with the surrounding community, which resulted in the illage en oying its ery first Christmas lights switch on last year! Back in 2013, Tanya began fundraising with the genius idea of running ‘Locals Take Over’ evenings. These consisted of Polgooth’s locals running the pub for an evening and included the cooking, washing up and waiting as well as running the bar and cellar. While this took weeks of planning, training and a lot of trust, Tanya tells us: “It was a roaring success and raised more than £3,000!” After this, the hope was that the Christmas lights could get underway, however after spending most of 2014 drowning in parperwork, it was deemed impossibly due to the lack money, lack of support from the utility companies and general health and safety issues. “I had almost given up, when a group of locals offered their support to do another ‘Locals Take Over.’ They wanted to raise more money and try again, so in 2015 we did and managed another £2,000 and more!” This time round, to make it happen, Tanya began thinking outside the box. “If I could encourage every resident to display Christmas lights at the front of their properties, we could have a sparkly village, without the health and safety nightmare of before. e flyer dropped to e ery property purchased 80 sets of 80-metre long lights and began the mission. With the cash raised, we also purchased a huge village Christmas tree,
with stand and lights, and with the money left over, we helped to pay for the residents’ lights. Once all of that was sorted, we could have our switch on party!” To the party, Tanya and her team of helpers invited the eldest resident and youngest resident to do the o cial switching on of the lights the first of their ind in olgooth e had complimentary mulled wine, mince pies, roasted chestnuts, and we even had the local community choir singing some carols!” Now in its second year, Tanya’s Christmas lights initiative now has an additional 55 properties involved. She says: “I cannot tell you how amazing our wonderful little village looks.” The Polgooth Inn is all about joining the community by whatever means possible. In the seven years of being there, Tanya has always been heavily involved in helping the local co unity anya finishes y e plaining “It’s a wonderful village to be a part of, and we can’t help but get involved!”

WONDERFUL WINTER
Don’t let the cold put you off a leisurely creek-side walk, before enjoying a winter warmer at The Lemon Arms, Mylor.
A
utumn is all but over and the trees adorning the roads and walkways of Cornwall have once more shed their leaves. And yet, there’s something to be said for the crunch of auburn foliage beneath your feet as you wander around Cornwall’s many waterways. And, even as the blue waters of summer fade to grey, watching life on the water bob by remains as charming as ever. Hitting the outdoors, however, inevitably builds up an appetite that takes some sating, which is what makes The Lemon Arms the perfect place to stop on a wintry afternoon’s exploring. Favoured in the summer for its fresh seafood, in the winter, Sundays at this wonderful Mylor pub really come into their own. On any day, it’s a great way to quench your thirst with one of the well-stocked bar’s many award-winning Cornish tipples from St Austell Brewery; but on Sundays, when you can enjoy a traditional roast dinner with the most generous portion sizes, it really takes some beating. As with the rest of the menu, everything on your plate is locally sourced,
from the tender meat to the fresh, crunchy vegetables. Served with large homemade Yorkshire puddings, with lashings of gravy, it’s a proper feast, and not just for the eyes! The menu as a whole is packed full of quality pub grub, and this time of year sees the reintroduction of our favourite winter warmers, perfect on those chilly afternoons. Even if you’ve got dinner on at home, you can pop in and ta e a seat y the log fire to warm your bones, before ordering a glass of your favourite and soaking up the traditional Cornish-pup atmosphere. If you like to get out and about in Cornwall, whatever the weather, and are looking for somewhere new to try on Cornwall’s fantastic foodie scene, a trip to Lemon Arms should definitely e on your agenda this winter

Rustic House, a fabulous Cornish emporium that’s brimming with homewares, furniture and accessories for all tastes and budgets.
W
ith more than 15 years’ experience in the garden furniture industry, a couple of years ago father and daughter team, Graham and Emily, decided to take a leap into the unknown and begin importing their own range of unique, hand-crafted, rustic indoor furniture. Having converted an old factory building into a new warehouse and showroom space, they opened the doors of Rustic House in July 2015 and since then, the business has gone from strength to strength. From small beginnings, Rustic House has listened to its customers’ feedback and continued to adapt and expand its range, which now includes a broad spectrum of reclaimed wood furniture, as well as sofas, rustic wood lighting and unique home accessories. Emily, who left her career as a coffee buyer only last year, moved back home to Cornwall to help her father grow the business. Her sister Amy also has her own home and garden furniture company, and is about to open a new showroom near Reading, which will feature many of the Rustic House products. Recently, this family-run operation announced plans to partner with local artists and craftspeople, introducing a Cornish coastal influence to its range including glassware, ceramics and other accessories. Graham and Emily will also continue to build relationships with suppliers overseas, who create exclusive furniture pieces just for Rustic House! Emily insists: “Our focus remains on handmade products with a rustic feel, drawing on the trend for soft, neutral colour schemes with a combination of natural elements and contrasting textures, helping you to create a relaxed, timeless look. We’re constantly updating our display, ensuring there’s something new to see on e ery isit and helping you find so ething that’s truly one of a kind for your home. Why not visit our showroom and coffee shop and see for yourself?”
