National Marine Week 2022

There are wonders to be found – buried in sparkling sand, under the green, pink and brown seaweeds in the rockpools, and beneath the shining ripples of our coastal waters. During the Wildlife Trusts’ summer celebration of all things coastal – National Marine Week – Cornwall Wildlife Trust are offering people of all ages the chance to join experts and volunteers as they seek out marine treasures. There’s so much to discover, from shells on the beach to dolphins and whales swimming by.

Dream A Little Dream

Happy New Year!

It’s that time of year when, after those heady 12 days of Christmas, the fun grinds to a sudden halt. It’s back to those 7am starts, trudging to and from work/school in the semi-light. Someone will ask: “What’s the weather like outside?” and there will only ever be one answer: “Grey.”

Cornwall for All

Getting out and about in Cornwall can require a certain level of capability if you want to explore away from the main destinations. For one thing, very little of Cornwall is flat! However, that doesn’t mean people with reduced mobility or disabilities should be put off.
