Location:
Breock Downs Monolith, Rosenannon
Crugmeer, Padstow
​Porth Reservoir, Newquay

​
Photographer: Rowena Castillo Nicholls
​Videographer: Rob Nicholls

What a fantastic and fabulous "4 days off" this Easter. Me and Rob Nicholls had done some reflection and praying as well as having a great time bonding, walking, butterfly and birdwatching. We've been good in eating fish and vegetables only too. No meat at all.

14 April 2017 - Breock Downs Monolith, Crugmeer and Porth Reservoir.

St Breock Downs Monolith (or St Breock Longstone; Cornish: Men Gurta is the largest and heaviest prehistoric standing stone in Cornwall, England. It stands on the summit of St Breock Downs. It is believed to be Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age (around 2500-1500 BC).

Crugmeer (Cornish: Krugmeur, great barrow) is a hamlet in North Cornwall. Crugmeer lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).

Wildlife Sightings
- 1x Peacock, Mistle Trush, Buzzard, Pipits, Swallows at St Breock Downs 
- 2x Peacock and 3x Small White along the road in St Columb
 - 1x Speckled Wood (resident butterfly in our garden) at Grampound Road
- 10++ Wheatear, 10++ Skylarks, 6x Oystercatcher, loads of Gulls and different species of Corvids at Crugmeer

15 April 2017 - Nare Head and St Clement

The Roseland Peninsula, or just Roseland, (Cornish: Ros, meaning promontory) is a district of West Cornwall. The 2009 film documentary “And Did Those Feet” suggests that Jesus Christ may have visited the Roseland Peninsula. The legend of Christ's visit to England is depicted in William Blake's poem "And Did Those Feet in ancient time".
​
St Clement (Cornish: Moresk) is a civil parish and village in Cornwall. Aside from the natural beauty of the surrounding countryside they come to see the village church and its associated conservation projects that are maintained by members of the local community. Unlike some other villages in the district, the village of St Clement has changed very little in recent times. The parish of St Clement lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). 

Wildlife Sightings
- 2x Little Egret, 1x Grey Heron, 10++ Shelducks, loads of Gulls and different species of Corvids at Tresillan

16 April 2017 - Roman Catholic Church, Our Lady Star of the Sea and Saint Anthony in St Mawes and Struddicks, Looe

Struddicks, a short but fairly demanding route through an unkempt wilderness alight with vivid flowers and butterflies in the summer months. This walk climbs high above the cliffs to give spectacular views. Thanks to the landowners' conservation strategies, the area is brimming with wildlife. The rocks, steps and stile along the coast path give the walk an adventurous flavour.
