Carolyn leading a previous walk to the Bronze Age Barrow above Poltesco
Led by Carolyn Kennett
Poltesco, Cadgwith walk
Meet at Ruan Minor Church (main entrance next to the school)
date now Sunday 15th September 2019
Walk: 11:00 – 13:30
Come and join heritage expert and astronomer Carolyn Kennett for a morning walk through the beautiful countryside and coastal paths around Poltesco Cove and Cadgwith. From Bronze Age barrows to Victorian serpentine works, we will be exploring the wonderful heritage of the area by following the footsteps of our ancestors along ancient sea roads.
This is a 2-mile walk with some hills and coastal sections and is therefore moderate in places. Please wear appropriate footwear with a grip that you don't mind getting muddy. Dogs on a lead are welcome.
The walk is a FREE event: Open invite: all welcome, no need to book
Meet outside St Grada Church, Ruan Minor (the main entrance, next to the school).
Parking: Those attending the walk only are encouraged to park in Ruan Minor. There is a very good free carpark which is signed from the entrance to the village. There is a cut-through which takes you onto the main street which leads down to the church.

Inspired by the way in which we have made use of local stone as part of our cultural heritage, visual artist Peter Beeson will be your guide, encouraging you to consider the way in which we can capture the geology of the area through tone
In the afternoon, enjoy a drawing workshop (booking essential) at Poltesco Cove, exploring the tonal values and ruggedly beautiful heritage of the Lizard peninsula, taking inspiration from the local heritage of stone used both for the creation of barrows in the Bronze Age and sought-after serpentine ornaments in Victorian times.
An indoor session will be held before lunch, followed by an application of the techniques discussed and worked with in the morning, during an afternoon outdoor drawing session, weather permitting. Suitable for all levels of skill. This activity is aimed at adults/young adults.
Participants are requested to bring a soft 2B graphite pencil. All other materials provided, all abilities welcomed. You’ll create a piece of work to take away, and we may share your work as part of our Lizard Beacons project.
