hidden cornwall

Cornwall is not only rich in history and archaeology but also in magic and mystery. From Neolithic standing stones, Bronze Age burial chambers, Iron Age settlements, medieval villages and churches, to 19th century tin workings and Victorian follies, the sites themselves cannot be separated from the landscape in which they exist. On the wild moors and cliff tops, if you know where to look, the signs are easy to read. In the sheltered valleys and woodlands they are often hidden and local knowledge is needed to find them.

 We help you find these special places and give you an insight into their history and the legends and myths that surround them. St Morwenna's holy well was not located on the cliffs of Morwenstow as a source of water but as a means of tapping into the energy of Mother Earth. St Nectan created his Kieve in the glen that bears his name for the same reasons that Bronze Age people thousands of years before carved their signs into the rock here. The magic of Tintagel castle survives to this day and you can still feel the presence of King Arthur - come and experience it for yourself.
