to the Autumn issue of Cornwall Living

I

love this edition of Cornwall Living. It’s when we get the chance to experience some of Cornwall’s finest spas, immersing ourselves in hot tubs, embracing the warmth of a sauna and being treated to some therapies designed to relax and revive. Turn to page 20 to read our cover feature on some of the best places in Cornwall to spend time being pampered. This is also the time of year when we start to hear wedding bells! Our special weddings supplement has a great selection of reception venues, photographers, jewellery, gift ideas and more. So, if you’re planning on saying ‘I do’ any time soon then be sure to turn to page 67 for some inspiration.

We’ve also been on our travels, spending an idyllic weekend on the Isles of Scilly (from page 112), discovering this enchanting archipelago from the island of Bryher. Our time was filled with some wonderful walks as well as lots of foodie treats. Keeping with the foodie theme, our media assistant, Bethany Allen has been in conversation with chef, Glenn Gatland (page 100). He spent ten years working on Scilly before taking up the position of Head Chef at Una St Ives, bringing his expertise in wood-fired cooking back to the mainland. I can’t wait to try some wood-fired cuisine there very soon.

We couldn’t let an edition of Cornwall Living go by without showcasing some of Cornwall’s finest properties – whether that be homes on the market (page 27) or fabulous places to stay (page 57) – and interiors inspiration abounds from page 44. I would suggest sticking on a pot of coffee, putting your feet up and spending a nice relaxing hour or two immersed in the ultimate lifestyle by the sea.

Until next month...happy reading!

“The first time I came to Cornwall was on my honeymoon.

I was blown away with its beauty. Why travel around the world when we have our very own paradise in Cornwall. With its crystal blue sea and amazing beaches to unwind on to enjoying a cornish pasty or two. I love Fowey and having a trip on the ferry but I always love having a cream tea in one of my favourite places, Mevagissey.” Jeane Parker

October at The Summerhouse Gallery sees featured artists Maggie O’Brien, Helen Jones and Flynn O’Reilly each use their own unique take to capture the seasonal change; from rich, golden palettes to dramatic skies and seascapes, a variety of aspects of this beautiful time of year have been explored and captured.

thermally e cient gla ing options, helping to reduce heat loss in winter, whilst keeping your room cool in summer.

Providing a beautiful solution to help make your home feel more spacious, light and welcoming.

Kitchens are often the most complex room in the home to refurbish; there’s an overwhelming amount of choice from cupboard doors to worktops and many showrooms offer similar designs, so how do you decide where to buy? The quality is in the detail, and prices are based on complexity of storage and door/cabinet construction. Painted real wood doors are more expensive than vinyl or foil wrapped MDF and solid backed pre-assembled cabinets provide greater rigidity and longevity. To get the best quality for your investment, ask a showroom to talk through sample displays and approximate costs, examine cabinet interiors, feel edge finishing, pull drawers out, discuss what storage solutions suit your needs and ask about weight capacity. For an open discussion about your kitchen project, with quality and service at the forefront, why not visit Now Kitchens & Bathrooms in Helston?

Santas!

Cornwall Hospice Care has announced the details for this year’s Santa Series, with events to suit the whole family. This Christmas there’ll be Santa Runs in Helston, Falmouth, Truro and Padstow and a Santa Cycle that starts in Wadebridge.

Oli Hoare, the charity’s Head of Fundraising, tells us: “Last year our Santas raised £20,000 towards the cost of the care we provide. This year, our title sponsor is well-known Cornish company Ann’s Cottage Surf Shops, who, like us, think the Santa Series is a brilliant way of starting the festivities.” he first Cornwall ospice Care antas will appear in Wadebridge on Saturday

8th December for the 8K Santa Cycle down the Camel Trail. This will be followed on the same day by the first of the charity’s Santa Runs, which will take a 2K route around Padstow.

For more information call 01726 66868 or visit www.cornwallhospicecare.co.uk

General Manager, Daniel Thompson says: “We have been lucky enough to receive a number of prestigious awards over the past few years, but this is truly the most enormous accolade, as it really does place us amongst the créme de la créme across the UK. It’s a huge testament to everyone on the team and we couldn’t be more proud.”

Planning an extension or conversion project?

Lilly Lewarne Architects have successfully obtained planning permission for a number of extensions and conversions around the south west, including recently approved extensions to a large house forming luxury holiday accommodation, on a picturesque site in Newquay, Cornwall and detailed construction drawings for the renovation of a series of un-used barns into a luxury holiday complex at Treverva Farm near Constantine.

Working closely with the client, Lilly Lewarne Architects utilised carefully considered design detailing to emphasise and preserve the barns’ natural characteristics which, along with high quality finishes, created much-desired accommodation, leading to a successful season of bookings. If you’re interested in extending or converting your own property, contact the team at Lilly Lewarne Architects and enjoy a luxurious conversion of your own.

ur fast-paced lives often mean that we have little or no ‘me-time’ – no opportunity to just sit and ‘do nothing’, no chance to unplug from technology, unwind from work or take a break from looking after the family and home.

Amanda Winwood, founder of Cornwall’s organic skincare company Spiezia, calls it ‘catching the breath’ – literally taking time out for yourself, finding a moment of calm in which to relax.

Spiezia’s Made For Life™ products are 100% organic certified and only contain food grade products so you know they are good for you.

These nourishing and beautifully scented products are used at one of my favourite spas at the Budock Vean – a hotel, quite literally on the river. Situated on the banks of the Helford, a spa treatment or spa day spent here can’t fail to calm. find swimming a rela ation in itself, it helps with breath control and has meditative qualities in the very repetitive nature of the strokes. The swimming pool at Budock Vean is in a stunning conservatory with a vaulted wooden ceiling and large open fire at one end. I love to swim here before heading up to one of the cosy spa rooms for a ‘Back to Life’ treatment, where I can lose myself in the aromas of the organic oils and the melting muscle massage.

I’ve also recently been introduced to The Retreat Spa at Una St Ives. Open to both residents and non-residents, this is a great place to unwind. here is a delightful infinity pool, as well as a separate children’s pool and Jacuzzi in which to lie back and enjoy the bubbles. It also benefits from an onsite physiotherapist and a treatment room dedicated to health and wellbeing with practitioners offering healing, meditation and yoga. ot all of us are comfortable with the more gentle side of rela ation and some find their solace in e ercise if that’s you then na t ves also offers fitness classes throughout the week. n the south coast, you’ll find The Cornwall Hotel And Clearing Spa. et amongst natural parkland the infinity pool has a panoramic landscape that changes from a palette of lush greens during the spring and summer months through to the gentle russets of autumn and winter. fully equipped gym coupled with a dry sauna and a steam room, enriched with essential oils, means you can’t fail to leave here feeling relaxed. The Cornwall also offers a range of spa breaks so you can totally unwind, putting off returning to reality for that little bit longer.

Cliff top spas abound in Cornwall, taking full benefit of the healing properties of the sea.

Bedruthan's cosy treatment room

Bedruthan is the Scarlet’s family-friendly sister hotel.

With childcare available onsite (free for two hours if you’re staying at the hotel) you can enjoy guilt-free time to yourself while your little ones are happily playing. It’s often hard with a young family to find time for yourself but it’s important to maintain the balance between mum or dad, and being you. A journey through the Sensory Spa Garden is a great couple’s treat, taking you on a ‘thermal adventure from hot to cold and back again to stimulate the senses’.

Or why not lose yourself in the spa’s new seasonal, autumnal treatment. It’s said that seaweed has magical benefits and when hand-harvested in Cornwall it doesn’t come fresher. The treatment begins with a skin soothing Laminaria body mud followed by an invigorating scrub.

Then you drift away feeling totally relaxed during a deep cleansing face ritual and scalp massage. Using a seaweed loofah and warm seaweed oil, your body is then massaged leaving you renewed, uplifted and tranquil.

f you actually stop and take the time to look at your ooring, it can be surprising how much of an impact it can have on the look and ambiance of your home. f your carpet is looking a bit worse for wear, or you’ve moved into a new house and the ooring doesn’t match up with your interior design style, then investing in a new oor can make all the difference. t might even be the case that you’ve simply outgrown your current type of ooring and need to upgrade due to lifestyle changes, such as having children or getting a puppy, making an easy-clean hard oor a better option to carpet.

We get some advice from the owner of Flooring, ark oneychurch, who has over years’ e perience in the ooring trade, of which have been spent running his own business. ark tells us f you are thinking about changing your ooring, would recommend looking at all the options available and we can then discuss the product best suited to your needs.

When it comes to choosing suitable ooring, hardwood ooring is a popular choice for a classic, timeless look with only a small

amount of maintenance to keep it looking its best. owever, trends have changed over recent years with lu ury vinyl tiles (L such as mtico becoming increasingly popular, as they are easy to maintain and come with a long warranty as standard.

Carpet is still traditionally the choice for the lu ury touch as nothing beats the feeling of stepping out of bed to the warmth of carpet underfoot. Living in Cornwall we’re lucky to be surrounded by sea and countryside says ark, the ideal ooring for a family home in Cornwall would therefore be hardwearing and easy to keep clean speak from e perience as in our home we spend a lot of time in the garden with family, friends and our dog, so chose mtico L ooring as it’s e tremely hard wearing and easy to clean. he team at Flooring have years of e perience to provide you with impartial advice and ooring to suit your home and budget. ark e plains We offer a complete service including initial consultation, survey and design, with a free no-obligation quote.

perfection COOK TO

Save money and effort when you convert your range cooker to electric.

W

ith a classic design and perfected ease of use, there’s nothing quite like cooking on a range cooker. Unfortunately, the running costs of these kitchen staples are often quite high, which can taint an otherwise wonderful appliance. That’s where Cornish Cooker conversions come in; the team of trained engineers pride themselves on their ability to reduce the running costs of your much-loved range cooker by up to 80% simply by converting it from oil to electric.

The investment of converting your cooker means that you can keep the centrepiece of your kitchen and ultimately reduce running costs so you can run your home more e ciently, saving you money to spend on other home improvements – or even a lovely holiday! The expert engineers at Cornish Cooker Conversions radically re-engineer the inner construction of your range cooker onsite, while greatly improving the functionality.

“We know that many range cookers are very expensive to run, but to replace them is a huge investment,” says Cornish Cooker Conversions’ Elizabeth Jackson. “But with some clever engineering on our part we are able to increase operational e ibility, ensure your cooker is fume-free and reduce the burden of servicing, all in addition to the opportunity to make big savings in fuel costs.”

Working for oil, gas, 30 amp, 13 amp and solid fuel range cookers from as far back as post-Second World War models, the

conversions will mean that the hobs work independently, allowing you to fry, boil, simmer and steam, all on different hobs while cooking a roast in the oven, just as you would with an electric oven. Indeed, cooking has never been easier as the heat-up times are also vastly improved while you gain more control of the heat levels.

If your range cooker heats the hot water for your home, either an immersion will be needed or the hot water cylinder should be plumbed into the central heating boiler. In either instance, the team at Cornish Cooker Conversions can advise you on the best course of action. Plus, thanks to advances in technology you can now control your range cooker through an app on your phone, which means you can turn it on and off, even when hundreds of miles from home, making it the perfect solution for a more energy e cient home.

PROTECT YOUR FUTURE

Unforeseen life events and circumstances can potentially impact your finances in a number of ways. Be prepared if life throws something unexpected your way.

H

undreds of thousands of people are diagnosed with cancer each year in the UK, and it is becoming more common among those of working age, necessitating them to work reduced hours or stop altogether.

At a time when welfare reform is resulting in significant changes to benefits such as child and working tax credits, incomebased job seeker’s allowance, and income support and housing benefits for those renting and with a mortgage, families need to do all they can to protect themselves in the event of the unexpected happening, so that sufferers can make getting better their number one priority.

But fewer than one in ten (8%) people in the UK have critical illness insurance, and just a third (34%) have life cover, with many people appearing to bury their heads in the sand when it comes to having a financial back-up plan[1]. ne in five ( people in the admit their household would not be financially secure for any length of time if it lost its main income as a result of serious illness, and almost half (47%) admit that their savings would last just six months or less if they became unable to work.

If you were to become seriously ill, would your loved ones struggle to keep up with household bills and the mortgage? It’s essential to make sure that your family is financially protected against the impact a critical illness could have, especially if your family relies on you financially.

You would receive a cash sum if diagnosed with one of many specified critical illnesses covered during the length of a policy, which could help to cover things such as childcare costs and household bills. Alternatively you may want to use the pay out to make adjustments to your home or lifestyle, to pay for medical treatment, or even to take that trip of a lifetime to help you recover.

An alarming number of families could face a significant financial struggle in the event of an unexpected loss of income due to serious illness or death. If the unexpected happened to you, it’s crucial to have the appropriate provision in place to protect your finances and ensure there’s a safety net in place. To discuss your situation, contact the team at Harris Begley, who are able to offer sound financial advice based on your individual circumstances.

Aiming to make the process of achieving your desired kitchen, bathroom or bedroom as easy and stress free as possible, the team is always on hand to help and welcomes anyone, from those only browsing to those looking for a complete re-fit.

And as an example of how you can transform your home, we’ve completed an e tensive re-fit ourselves in the showroom to display the latest ranges alongside quality appliances, worktops, sinks and taps.

Many of the original Victorian features have been retained, such as the old fireplaces and wooden oors, and these have been lovingly combined with modern design and features, including Wi-Fi, a at-screen television and a very wellequipped kitchen. erwyn has five bedrooms, including a large master bedroom with a lovely en-suite bathroom. There are three more stunning bathrooms, including one with a roll-top bath. ownstairs, you’ll find plenty of space, with a snug and a large lounge, as well as a dining room, modern kitchen and a useful utility room.

The Stable, Mawnan Smith Head to the sought-after village of Mawnan Smith, located just minutes from the stunning Helford River, and drive along an idyllic country lane to get to this cluster of four boutique barn conversions one of which is The Stable.

Guests will love the luxury of this location combined with the simplicity of rural life and easy access to the South West Coast Path. The Stable is a light and spacious property with a modern interior, quirkily designed with unique fi tures we particularly love the industrial lighting above the kitchen table. The living area has a hygge-like cosiness to it with coastal tones and warm blankets strewn around as well as a contemporary fireplace, perfect for a cosy night in over a bottle of wine.

The beautiful creeks and woodlands of the Helford offer a wealth of tranquil coves and beaches to explore and as the seasons change, the Helford’s ancient oak trees start to turn and the river becomes a blaze of colour with autumnal hues of orange and yellow emerging in a are of autumnal beauty. Wander along the coastal path and admire the stunning scenery and then, make your way to the Ferryboat Inn for a refreshing hand-crafted ale on the waterfront and maybe a steaming bowl of mussels to accompany it.

e s u o h y r t n u o c A CHRISTMAS

Visit Trevince House this December and experience the historic beauty of its grand rooms and Victorian stables.

D

ating back to the 13th century, Trevince sits proudly overlooking Gwenapp, located within the ‘richest square mile in the world’ – a term coined in the 19th century when the area was rich in copper – the importance of Trevince as part of the social history of copper mining has led to it being named a World Heritage Site.

With its granite ashlar, pink killas stone and classical portico entrance, Trevince has a majestic beauty that belies its rich history and stately grandeur. It’s been in Richard Stone’s family since at least 1281, and had never been open to the public until it hosted its first event in 2016, ‘A Country House Christmas,’ and now for the third year running, Richard and his wife Trish will open their doors again so guests can peruse stalls filled with beautiful items and explore the grand rooms, taking place this year over the first two weekends in December, from 30th November until 9th December (10am until 4pm). Trish explains: We fill the rooms with unique Christmas gifts and our dining room becomes a pop-up café serving hot drinks, delicious cakes and light lunches!”

Following the success of ‘A Country House Christmas,’ Richard and Trish have put together a bustling calendar of events for 2019. Experience the resonating sound of opera, with the trio 'The Opera Singers' singing in the Drawing Room in February, then in March witness the grand opening of the gardens to the public. Situated within

270 acres of farm and woodland, the grounds include a stable block, parkland and historic walled garden. In May, enjoy the two-day Garden Festival, which will include speakers, demonstrations and even a plant pharmacy where you can learn how to nurture your struggling plants back to health.

Trish adds: “We also open our Victorian stables to showcase local artists, and we will be running a series of workshops from the Stable Yard including willow trellis making, lino printing and a spring felting workshop.”

Since opening to the public in 2016, 'Team Trevince' are working hard to build up an amazing calendar of events for you to enjoy the beauty and history of Trevince and continue to keep the estate thriving for future generations.

Want to extend your home to accommodate new design? Why not let Four Seasons Home Improvements help?

ABOVE RIGHT Transform your home with a conservatory or orangery

O

ur homes are probably our biggest on-going projects, with many of us choosing to transform them rather than move. So, what are the benefits of e tending to accommodate a conservatory or orangery? ccording to the Four easons team, more and more customers are deciding to add an e tension in order to transform their lifestyle with their living rooms and or kitchens.

A contemporary orangery is a very popular option at the moment, and Four easons specialises in completing the whole process from start to finish, with e pertise ranging from helping clients with building regulations and planning applications, to completing building work and arranging work by the finishing trades, from electricians to decorators.

One issue that often puts people off is the severe uctuation between e treme heat and bitter cold, from summer to winter.

Fortunately, Four easons can mitigate this. fantastic new option is to retro-fit a new roof to an e isting conservatory, great for those that suffer with old pvc roofs. his is subject to a structural survey, but if you’re

building from the ground up, you needn’t worry, as the technologies and materials now being used by most conservatory manufacturers are up to scratch with modern standards.

Offering their top tips when it comes to design and installation, Four easons tells us that while icking through brochures and looking at photos can give you an idea of what to e pect, nothing beats e periencing the different designs ‘in the esh’. For this reason, the team recommends popping into the showroom on owton ndustrial Estate, E eter, to find the conservatory or orangery that best suits you.

A Cornish

ROMANCE Wedding rings by design since 1890 with award-winning jewellers, Wearnes.

ABOVE Wearnes’ jewellery is inspired by the stunning Cornish coast RIGHT Just one piece from the Cornish Tin & Gold collection

I

nventor of Cornish Tin & Gold, Wearnes have been designing jewellery since 1890 making stunning pieces to commemorate all the special moments in life and their wedding collection stands testament to this.

We hear from Jewellery Designer Sarah Corbridge who tells us: “Your wedding rings say a lot about you as a couple and they need to last a lifetime.”

Wearnes Cornish Tin & Gold collection is an exclusive fusion incorporating historic tin mined in Cornwall and salvaged from a shipwreck, which lay on the seabed for more than 140 years. Invented by Sarah, a fourth generation Wearne’s family member and Cornish jewellery designer, while its purity is the same as any 9 and 18ct gold, its value is unique, as every wedding ring contains a little piece of Cornwall, rescued from the ocean’s arms. Therefore, if Cornwall holds a special place in your heart, then these rings are a beautiful way to commemorate that, as the continuous bands of gold symbolize everlasting love, as well as a love of Cornwall.

Drawing inspiration from the Cornish coastlines and magnificent countryside, Sarah’s luxury and bespoke rings are an iconic Cornish invention designed in the Wearnes workshop in Falmouth.

The bands are available in white or yellow gold and you can choose from plain, diamond set or engraved with Celtic patterns. You can also have your names and/or the date of your special day engraved on the inside of the band.

As well as containing salvaged tin from the mines of Cornwall, Sarah stamps each ring with a tiny map of Cornwall too, making it the perfect wedding band for a Cornish couple, or even a couple getting married in Cornwall. If you like the sound of these stunning rings but have something particular in mind, Wearnes also offer commissioned pieces, working with you to create the ring of your dreams, because after all, you only get married once so you may as well do it exactly how you want to.

Wearnes also design stunning necklaces, bracelets and earrings as part of the Cornish Tin & Gold collection, so you can continue to add to your Cornish collection for years to come!

IT’S TEA TIME! Be sure to visit the Teacup Tearoom in Mevagissey!

W

ith colourful bunting outside and fresh owers or teapots with plants on the tables, Teacup Tearoom is welcoming from the moment you step inside. Since opening in spring this year, the tearoom has drawn masses of praise for its beautiful and welcoming interior, spot on cream teas and delectable cakes. Stocking a varied selection of Teapigs tea, you’re assured of an excellent brew from English breakfast tea to a wonderfully random cup of rhubarb and ginger.

We hear from owners Lis and David Brown who tell us: “We may be small but we believe in creating a welcoming atmosphere, whether you’re on your own, with friends or with your canine companions.” Always going the extra mile for customers (and their pooches), Teacup provide dog beds, treats and towels for your furry friend and accommodate specific dietary requirements, with fantastic vegan and gluten free options. Plus, the Teacup team donate their tips to St Francis Home for Animals to support dogs in need, so it’s unsurprising that the tearoom has been nominated for the Dog Friendly Awards 2018!

On Tripadvisor, the tearoom has received excellent reviews, which are testament to the brilliant service, tea and food available.

Here’s a review from just one happy customer: “We are currently on holiday in St Ives and on a day trip to Mevagissey came across this fabulous tea room. From the minute we walked in we felt welcome. The place is stylish and oozes quality. It’s obvious that the owners care passionately about what they do and how they present themselves to the public. My wife and I both had a cream tea and we agreed it was the best cream tea we had ever had. I would recommend this to everyone visiting here.”

So, if you’re planning to visit the picturesque fishing village of evagissey, then make sure to fit in a visit to eacup too because trust us – you won’t be disappointed.

A true taste

OF CORNWALL Discover the delicious local produce, speciality teas and kitchenware at Boscastle Farm Shop.

ABOVE Enjoy homemade pasties and local produce INSET Tuck in to tea and cake at Boscastle Farm Shop BELOW Homemade treats await

R

un by husband and wife team, Robin and Jackie Haddy, Boscastle Farm Shop is situated in a stunning location atop the cliffs of Boscastle, just 50 yards from the coast path, and is surrounded

by National Trust farmland.

The shop’s ethos is centred on a passion for exceptional quality, local produce, and a love of the natural beauty of the area.

The shop and café both enjoy scintillating views of the Atlantic and offer visitors a true avour of Cornwall, whether it’s to eat in or to takeaway. From the Red Ruby beef – from their own cattle at Home Farm – to a wide selection of Cornish fish, as well as Cornish drinks and other fantastic fare, there’s something for every taste.

It’s no wonder then that the team have won numerous awards: in 2017 they cinched ‘Caf of the ear,’ in the Cornwall ourism Awards and have won silver this year in the Taste of the West awards. The judges arrive unannounced, to scrutinise what the establishment has to offer and have been blown away by what Boscastle Farm Shop has to offer, for its stunning location, its friendly staff and the delicious homemade food at the café.

On making the decision to open the farm shop five years ago, ackie tells us We knew there was a demand for what we were offering, and since we’ve opened business has boomed at an unprecedented level! We have a simple approach to our food and that’s to make everything we can, by hand. From pies and pasties to beautiful cakes and treats, we make them all in our coastal kitchen.”

Supporting local businesses like Tregida mokehouse and Cornish rchards, to name but a few, and residing in what is an undeniably incredible location, Boscastle Farm hop is truly the epitome of a Cornish business, so this Christmas, if you’re looking for a gift for that special someone who holds Cornwall close to their heart, why not pay a visit and see what the team can offer you?

Chances are, you’ll find something that tickles your fancy too, and it can’t hurt to treat yourself once in a while, can it?

DISCOVER MORE Boscastle Farm Shop also puts on a great selection of events, to provide a wonderful new way to enjoy the fabulous food, service and ambiance at the farm shop. So make sure to keep and eye on the events page on the Boscastle Farm Shop website!

Warm the cockles this autumn at the Lemon Arms, Mylor Autumn is one of our favourite times of the year to get out there and explore Cornwall.

Mylor is the perfect place to spend an afternoon.

Wander around the creek and fill your lungs with the salty sea air while you watch the world on the water bob by. Then, to rest your weary feet and warm your cockles, retreat to the Lemon rms, with its roaring fire, hearty menu full of local produce and a well-stocked bar filled with Cornish tipples.

For a taste of the ocean, you’ll be tempted by the daily specials menu, which features the catch of the day – always different, depending on what the local fishermen have brought home For more information call 01326 373666 or visit www.staustellbrewery.co.uk/pub/ falmouth/lemon-arms

The art of wine

with Polgoon Vineyard In Cornwall, there’s always been a natural link between the artist and the landscape. This connection to land and sea is something John Coulson, winemaker at Polgoon Vineyard, also feels strongly about and has inspired him to approach Newlyn School of Art to commission the tutors to create artwork for the labels of Polgoon’s latest limited edition, Bacchus white wine. Anthony Garratt’s ‘Plucked Mine’ was chosen for this year’s commission and is a moody

depiction painted with soil from Botallack mine itself. The Art Bacchus wine has fresh, crisp, citrusy aromas and each bottle is signed by the artist and numbered from 1 to 1500. Plus, with every bottle sold, a donation will be made to help support the work that Newlyn Art School does to teach, mentor and support artists from around the country.

MAIN Una Kitchen's stunning interior ABOVE The state of the art Gozney wood-fired oven RIGHT West Country wood-fired pork

n an interview with Head Chef Glenn WORDS BY BETHANY ALLEN Gatland, we hear all about his and the Una Kitchen story. Glenn trained as a chef at St Austell College in the late 80s and started out as a commis chef at The Wellhouse Country Hotel, where he learnt what it takes to maintain three AA Rosettes and worked his way up from commis to head chef. Glenn tells us: “In 2007, I left The Wellhouse and spent ten years on the sles of cilly. For the first five years I looked after Hell Bay Hotel restaurant on ryher and was the first head chef there to receive three AA Rosettes. Then over the ne t five years took up a developmental role looking after three fairly busy restaurants on Tresco Island and raised the level of food there too.” It was during his stint on Tresco that lenn was introduced to wood-fired cooking Cooking at uin each Caf with a wood-fired oven was when I learnt to make the switch from fine dining to wood-fired cuisine, that was six years ago and I haven’t looked back since Wood-fired cooking takes it back to basics – real caveman cooking.”

When lenn first considered moving back to Cornwall, Una Kitchen was still in its edgling stages and although there was talk of introducing a wood-fired oven during initial

designs, it wasn’t a sure thing. “When I arrived in March last year the restaurant was a blank canvas, alongside the architects and designers I had input with the kitchen layout, and then in July they pulled the pin and installed a wood-fired oven. t was a bit of a leap of faith but now it’s the entire focal point of the restaurant.”

As you enter Una Kitchen, you’re greeted with the beautiful ickering ames from the wood-fired oven creating a warm atmosphere within which to enjoy your food and a mouthwatering menu to boot. Glenn continues: “They’re not just pizza ovens, it’s true that you can’t replicate a pizza that’s made in a proper wood-fired oven, but it also does so much more. 50% of our menu, including meats, fish and vegetables are cooked in our woodfired oven. t adds a subtle smoky avour that perfectly fits in with our editerranean vibe.” Plus the oven itself, as Glenn says, “is the olls oyce of wood-fired ovens , made by a company called Gozney – it's the elite in wood-fired oven design. lenn continues “It’s certainly a step up from the rustic French version I was using before and is an amazing piece of kit, especially as the winter months start to roll in, you can see the ames from reception as you walk in. It’s like walking into a pub with a roaring fire but it’s our Mediterranean version.”

Both in terms of cuisine and atmosphere, Una Kitchen embraces a relaxed editerranean vibe there’s no stu ness and you’re ust as welcome in ip- ops and beach shorts as you are in your Sunday best.

Una Kitchen has come an extremely long way since opening in March last year and

LEFT Delectable chocolate sponge and Roskilly's ice cream sandwich, topped with honeycomb

the team’s main aim is to provide a tranquil place to escape the hustle and bustle of St Ives, especially during peak season.

When discussing other aspects of the restaurant, Glenn tells us: “It’s not just about the food, we also have a great front of house team, and we’re very aware that although food is important, how it’s delivered and how people are looked after when they’re here is also integral to our success. A lot of restaurants in Cornwall clean up the seasonal market and then close their doors in October but we aim to accommodate the local market as well.” With this in mind, Una Kitchen has an exciting events calendar over the coming months, commencing with a ‘St Ives Beer and Pizza Night’ on 18th October.

Una Kitchen provides a modern Mediterranean vibe and a warm and welcoming atmosphere that accommodates everyone, including man’s best friend. So, make sure to book a table to discover the delights of wood-fired cuisine, great service and a beautiful location on the outskirts of St Ives.

L

ocated between Truro and the St Agnes Heritage Coast, The Red Lion Pub in Blackwater is the perfect place to rest and refuel after an invigorating coastal walk or a stroll along the beach. As the autumn chill begins to creep into the air, there really is nothing better than sitting in front of the fire in a cosy pub and tucking in to a delicious meal, perhaps even accompanied by a glass of red wine, or two!

The food at The Red Lion is homemade by Head Chef, George Spurrier and his team and is sourced locally, so you know you’ll be in for a treat on any visit to the pub. Not to mention they put on a delicious Sunday roast that, trust us, will leave you wanting more. Alongside the culinary offering, there’s also a great selection of local cask ales with a rotating guest cask so that if you’re an ale fan, you can be introduced to something new on each visit. There’s also a brilliant array of gins, rums and whiskeys, and we recommend trying a Tarquin’s gin and tonic to get you in the festive spirit.

The newly refurbished pub provides a welcoming atmosphere within which to enjoy your food and the landlord Gary and his team have already drawn praise for their exceptional service. Having done a little digging we found this review from one happy

customer: “We have visited The Red Lion on a few occasions and have always been amazed by the standard of food and service from this newly taken over village pub. Gary and his team go above and beyond to make sure you’re made welcome, providing excellent service and food that you would expect from a top-notch establishment. There’s plenty to choose from, food and drinks alike, and we will definitely return again and again to this gem of a place.” We couldn’t have put it better ourselves and found this review among a whole repertoire of similar praise.

Don’t take our word for it though! Visit this warm and welcoming pub for yourself and enjoy the exceptional service and buzzing atmosphere of this family-friendly free house.

A TOUR

s u g l o T h g u o r th Discover the story behind Cornwall’s mining history with a tour of Tolgus Tin Mill.

MAIN Discover the mechanisms behind Tolgus Tin Mill INSET The beautiful grounds at Cornwall Gold RIGHT Cornwall Gold’s stunning jewellery

I

f, like many, you’ve watched an episode of Poldark recently, you may wonder what life would have been like for Cornish miners working at the height of the industry. A visit to Tolgus Tin Mill offers a colourful insight into the men, and children, who worked there.

Now part of the Cornwall Gold site between Redruth and Portreath, the little mill above the stream has been in action since 1865 and is at the heart of a renovation project to preserve its historic heritage. This was the over ground operation of the mining industry where local mining waste and tin ore from sand and river deposits were filtered for every last bit of tin that could be smelted and used. “Workers would spend up to 15 hours a day, hand sifting other people’s rubbish,” explains Cornwall Gold’s Steve Ackland.

Today, the mill is the last original tin streaming works in Europe and tin is still smelted at Tolgus and mixed with silver and gold to produce the stunning Tolgus collection. Proceeds from this range of jewellery are then reinvested back into the mill, ensuring its restoration continues and its future is safeguarded.

On your visit look out for the only set of original Cornish stamps left in existence, which are more than 150 years old and learn

about what life was like for workers who toiled in back-breaking conditions to extract the smallest quantities of tin.

While Tolgus was undoubtedly a safer place than Cornwall’s underground mines, to wander through the mill is to remember how hard and dangerous the work could be. It’s noisy, dusty and wet. “Children were expected to follow in the footsteps of fathers and grandfathers, and would be placed on duty in the slime pits or under the frames. It’s a form of labour that would be unthinkable today”, says Steve. “Kids that visit us now are amazed at the harsh conditions, and it makes going to school look a lot more appealing!”

After exploring this bygone age, we’d recommend a spot of retail therapy in the beautiful Cornwall Gold showroom, before heading to their Cornish Pantry, where you can enjoy some amazing Cornish dishes, including the award-winning breakfast, which is served on a traditional tinner’s shovel!

A great

ESCAPE After hearing word of an experience like no other, we paid a visit to Escape Time St Ives, a live escape room game experience, to see what all the fuss was about.

A

RIGHT Escape Time St Ives makes a fantastic way to spend an afternoon, whatever the occasion!

s we arrived at Escape Time St Ives, we were greeted by Jimmy, our extravagant host. After leading us into the briefing room, he ran us through the rules of the game and showed us a quick video, and before we knew it we were all set to take on Prison X, one of two games available.

The basic premise of all escape rooms is in the name and for us, our challenge was to do so within an hour. As the title suggests, Prison X resembles a prison cell, and rumour has it that escaped inmate Trevor Ashcroft has left some clues behind as to how he got out. With the guards having relaxed in their duties of late, now’s the time to make your attempt for freedom!

We had to solve a series of challenges based on what we could access in the room. Some were physical, others mental, but all of them were up against the clock. As the Commercial Team of Engine House Media we felt like we had a good chance of cracking this one, firmly believing in our ability to work together, but Prison X was a challenge unlike any we’d faced before. Our team of six quickly got to work and without any clear direction, decided to break into three teams of two, each taking on a separate task. We did need some help, and Jimmy was all too happy (if not a little cryptically!) to oblige, listening in and dropping the odd hint over the hour to keep us on track.

As the ticking clock began its crescendo into the last five minutes, things really began to get quite tense, but with 30 seconds to go we finally managed to solve the pu le and escape to freedom.

Unfortunately we didn’t get to try The Chocolate Factory, the second available game, but we’ll certainly be returning to see if we can escape that too. Having malfunctioned and run out of ingredients, with an absent owner and all ingredients locked away, the aim at he Chocolate Factory is to fi the machine before it runs out of stock. Sounds exciting, and delicious!

An experience here would make a fantastic gift for those looking to ma imi e their time in Cornwall, and would certainly make an

exciting way to mark a special occasion or a great activity for when the weather’s not so fair, so if you’re looking to fill your autumn winter itinerary, why not visit the website and book your experience?

ESCAPE TO THE

s d n a isl F

MAIN A spectacular view from the historic Garrison on St Mary's INSET Scilly is renowned for its vast stretches of idyllic, deserted beaches

Discovering the enchanting archipelago of the Isles of Scilly.

or those with busy lives trying to arrange a weekend away and find a date that suits family, work and animals can be a challenge. Add to the mix the unpredictable nature of the great British weather and the challenge becomes very real. Had someone told me we could make this happen, with hotter weather than the Mediterranean, I’d have answered: “Yeah right! And England will win their quarter-final against weden in the World Cup!” They did and so did we, but for us that was only the start of an amazing adventure.

With the stars aligned and all children, dogs, cats and horses accounted for we set off in the early part of this summer on an amazing cilly adventure.

Flying to the cillies on the kybus from Land's End is, in my view, the only way to travel to the islands. As you leave the mainland behind, with the Longships lighthouse in the distance, each passing second of the short minute ight sees your worries and stresses just slip away. houlders drop, frowns disappear and a

sense of peace and tranquillity takes hold as t ary’s approaches. s if by magic the whole world changes and becomes a much better place.

On arrival we are collected from the airport by the resco huttle team who transfer us to t ary’s quay and our boat transfer to Bryher. There’s nothing quite like the sights, sounds and smell of the quayside to make you feel ‘at home’ on cilly salty air, a ure blue skies re ected in clear waters and the bustle of boatmen helping visitors board the off-island launches.

After a short trip across the water we arrive at our home for the weekend the awardwinning Hell Bay Hotel, a private oasis, set in an idyllic cove overlooking the Atlantic cean. We are shown to a lovely suite, with our own secluded patio on which to relax and soak up cilly. nce unpacked, with tummies rumbling, we set of in search of lunch. We have heard that Bryher-based Island Fish not only serves the freshest catch but that proprietor, and cillonian, manda ender has a great story to tell.

It is the only dedicated destination marketing and PR organisation on the islands for the islands. www.islandspartnership.co.uk

ABOVE Hell Bay Hotel, our home for the weekend

Meeting Amanda, and listening to her re ections on her life on cilly really resonates with me. A self-confessed, mid-life crisis saw her leave slands artnership, cilly’s dedicated marketing and organisation and, with brother Mark, start Island Fish from the conservatory in her house. It’s a compelling story of passion and perseverance involving a cillonian family who, for three generations, have followed in the footsteps of their ancestors’ proud fishing tradition. For visitors, life on cilly appears idyllic, but there’s a certain resilience required to survive island living and the ender’s story depicts this perfectly. manda tells us that fishing has always been part of family life. Her father Mike, brother Mark and now her own 18 year old son hamus bring the catch of the day back to Bryher, where it is cleaned and prepared for customers at the newly built shop and fishworks that opened in April this year. Island Fish can be found just up the track from the quay and, like everything on the island, is easy to find as ryher has an area of ust acres.

Offering an eat in or takeaway menu, my choice of lobster, served with potato wedges and coleslaw lunch is a steal at only and both this and my wife’s crab quiche are to die for. Both dishes are part of an extensive selection of fish, and it’s award-winning to boot! A stroll around the island follows, much needed to work off our splendid lunch.

DISCOVER MORE Walk Scilly Long Weekend 11th - 15th October Autumn is the perfect time of year to experience the islands. The fifth Walk Scilly Weekend is bigger and better than ever, with 24 walks taking place across eight islands, including, for the first time, some special walks with walking artists.

Tickets are now on sale. www.visitislesofscilly.com/walkscilly

As often happens with childfree weekend getaways our time mostly revolves around food and so, after an afternoon exploring, we end our first day on ryher with a fish and chip supper at the Fraggle ock ar.

After a wonderful night’s sleep, induced by all that fresh air and the sound of the ocean, we breakfast in the hotel (I wasn’t joking about the food!) before heading out for a day on resco. We have always wanted to visit the Tresco Abbey Garden and were intrigued as to what we would find. We weren’t disappointed – the garden is stunning, a sub-tropical gem, home to thousands of e otic plants from around the world. uilt in the 19th century around the ruins of a enedictine abbey, a meander around the garden reveals avid Wynne’s magnificent ‘Children’ sculpture that rises majestically behind a border of vibrant gapanthus. he Abbey Garden just keeps on giving at every turn and the unique Valhalla museum, with its figureheads from cillies’ shipwrecks honour the final century of sailing tradition dating back some , years, is a fitting end to our garden tour.

And you guessed… it’s lunchtime again!

And what a lunch it is, declared to be: “one of the best ever by my wife. uin each Caf has quite possibly one of the most idyllic locations – the sand is golden and the water is the clearest blue. ur vegetarian sharing platter and succulent pan-fried fish are enjoyed overlooking this exquisitely beautiful and peaceful bay. Walking off lunch takes us to the north end of Tresco and a visit to the ruins of King Charles’ Castle before completing the six-mile walk that circumvents the entire island.

After a happy day exploring we return to Hell Bay Hotel sun kissed and happy. The weather has been amazing for our trip and has transformed Scilly into what could easily be mistaken for tropical islands. It’s warm enough for us to dine outside and we are blessed with a romantic sunset to accompany our delicious supper.

Sunday sees us divide and conquer. My wife heads off to enjoy a relaxing treatment at the hotel while I pay a visit to Bryher’s shop and ost ce packed full of produce they offer an invaluable delivery service for self-catering visitors, bringing everything you need for your stay direct to your holiday home door.

Next stop for me is Hillside Farm where I am warmly greeted by owners Ruth and Graham who take me on a tour of their working farm. The spring and summer

months see them harvesting vegetable, salad and soft fruit crops that are sold from their roadside stall. They also raise a herd of North Devon cattle and British Saddleback pigs that supply the island with rare breed, free-range pork and beef, and are another example of the entrepreneurial spirit that makes the island’s businesses unique. s our final day draws to a close, and we prepare for our return to the mainland in the morning, we both comment on how our visit has been one of sheer relaxation. The Scilly way of life has a different pace to the mainland one that perhaps we should all adopt in order to take in the finer in things in life and all that Cornwall and its unique islands have to offer.

TO THE

RESCUE As the grey seal pup season has begun, the Cornish Seal Sanctuary’s Animal Care Team give their top tips on what to do if you come across a seal pup on the beach.

F

irstly, keep your distance. If a pup has a uffy white coat, it still needs its mother. he will have spotted you long before you saw her and she will hopefully be watching from a safe distance out at sea. mum will only return to feed her pup if she thinks it’s safe to do so.

Secondly, don’t touch the pup. Seals are wild animals with sharp teeth and a mother may reject her pup if it smells of people, so keep downwind and out of sight. ou also shouldn’t put any seal back in the sea. A white-coated pup spends most of its time out of the water. ll seals go onto land to rest, digest and socialise all year round, so if you come across one on land, it’s best to leave it alone.

While in most cases you shouldn’t need to interact with the pup, it can pay to keep an eye on it from a distance, looking to see if it’s thin, in ured or seems unwell.

Noisy breathing, coughing and a runny nose could indicate that it is in need of help. If so, the best thing you can do is call the Cornish eal anctuary for the team’s e pert advice. lternatively, contact ritish ivers arine Life escue on and give them your location.

This autumn, to get up close and personal to seal pups and learn more about them, why not join the Cornish Seal Sanctuary for ‘Puptober’ half-term and become a escue anger ake part in Rescue Rangers SOS training, learn the rescue-to-release story, take a up escue dventure rail, get stuck in with ocean crafts and earn an e clusive ‘ uptober’ pop badge

Prevention IS KEY

We hear how important it is to monitor your bowel health from the experts at Duchy Hospital.

T

he thought of developing cancer is a scary prospect, but it’s important to tackle it head on. We hear how best to approach the issue from the experts at Duchy Hospital. Mr Denzil May, General and Colorectal Surgeon tells us: “Colorectal (bowel) cancer is one of the most common cancers, with approximately 40,000 new cases per year in the UK. It can affect anybody although it becomes more common in people over the age of 50. And whilst most cases of bowel cancer are sporadic (no clear cause there are certain modifiable risk factors that people could address. This includes maintaining a healthy body weight, regular exercise, eating a diet containing fresh fruit and vegetables and avoiding processed foods, particularly processed meats.”

Often it’s the case when it comes to cancer that prevention is key, and as well as maintaining a healthy lifestyle, this also involves regular check-ups as the best way to fight cancer is to catch it early. r ay explains: “Bowel cancer tends to develop from ‘pre-cancerous-polyps so there is an opportunity to prevent bowel cancer by treating polyps before they become malignant. I would encourage all patients to take part in the National Bowel Cancer Screening Programme. This involves a twoyearly stool sample to detect blood, sent out in the post to patients from the age of 60, and

more recently an additional single e ible sigmoidoscopy at the age of 55.”

As well as participating in screenings, another thing to monitor is whether you have any symptoms. Mr May tells us: “Bowel symptoms are common and are usually self-limiting and settle down. However, symptoms that persist should be investigated as they may be an early sign of bowel cancer.” Symptoms include: cramping abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss, iron deficiency anaemia, persistent change in bowel habit, rectal bleeding, a feeling that you need to have a bowel movement that’s not relieved by having one, or feeling a lump in the tummy. Patients with one or more of these symptoms should book an appointment to see their doctor as it could be a sign of polyps developing. The team at uchy ospital are e perts in their field and are here to help combat and prevent the onset of cancer, so make sure to get in touch for further information on the diagnostic procedures or to book an initial consultation.

T

his autumn, Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) is teaming up with Greggs, the Environment Agency, Ecover, British Canoeing, Parley, WSL PURE, REN kincare and ritish urfing to instigate the biggest Autumn Beach and River Clean yet, mobilising 15,000 volunteers at 400 beaches and 60 rivers across the UK between 20th and 28th October.

Since its launch in 2011, the project has seen over 28,000 volunteers remove 80,000kg of marine plastic pollution (the equivalent of over 19,500 bin bags) at 932 Autumn Beach Clean events. nd this year, for the first time, has introduced river cleans in a bid to stop plastic pollution before it reaches our coastlines.

Taking into account the length of the longest river in the UK (the Severn) and its average speed – it’s estimated that a piece of litter dropped upstream could reach the sea in less than 44 hours.

Ben Hewitt, Director of Projects and Campaigns at SAS tells us: “This year, we’re moving inland to our rivers for the first time, we want to tackle the problem of pollution

further upstream and highlight the direct link between all UK towns, villages and cities, and the ocean around us. The scale of this clean will provide us with vital data to inform the government’s decisions on the new Deposit Return Scheme as we will be able to specifically show the range of bottles and cans ending up polluting our islands.”

Earlier this year, after pressure from SAS and various other environmental charities, the UK government announced that a Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) would come into place in England. This means that consumers will soon pay a small fee when buying drinks in bottles or cans which they will get back after returning the container. And a recent SAS report found that: “Local authorities across England could save up to £35 million every year if a DRS for drinks containers is introduced.” Therefore, SAS will be using the Autumn Beach and River Clean to identify and monitor the types of drinks containers found on our beaches and then recycle as many as possible. The data collected from this will then be supplied as part of the consultation to ensure a comprehensive DRS is put into place.
