Gool Peran Lowen! The parade was brilliant, it was great to see so many of you today, not even the grey skies and small spots of rain could keep you away! Thank you to everyone from the Federation of Old Cornwall Societies for humouring me & posing for the camera - here’s a mega thread of photos!

The Buttermarket Redruth has been a particular success of the Redruth High Street HAZ scheme, with its regeneration led by Redruth Revival - it's been great to see it so active & well-loved since its re-opening! 📸: Claire Fear

🚨 ATTENTION: Unfortunately, due to the even higher wind levels that are expected tomorrow with Storm Amy, the second day of the EXPO has been cancelled. It’s such a shame to cut it short, but we have to prioritise your safety & ours!

Our job is to is to identify, record, enhance, conserve, present and interpret the historic environment of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. We do this by creating policies that are adopted by Cornwall Council, through our own projects, and working with other orgs! letstalk.cornwall.gov.uk/heritage
The image shows a standing stone, or menhir, known as the Old Man of Gugh. Gugh is a small inhabited island, which is a part of the groups of islands and islets known as the Isles of Scilly.
The Isles of Scilly lie about 28 miles southwest of the coast of mainland Cornwall. There are six inhabited islands, including Gugh, and around 140 smaller off-islands that are mostly home to birds.
The Old Man of Gugh, as he has become known, is roughly 2.7m (9ft) tall and can be found close to the base of Kittern Hill. In the image, you can see the menhir is leaning towards the centre of the photo. In the background, you can see the sea, separating this island from its neighbour Saint Agnes.

The image depicts Tregeare - an Iron Age hillfort, near Saint Kew in Cornwall, England. It shows a landscape of fields with small patches of woodland at the bottom left & right corners of the image. In the center of the photo, there are two dark green circles within one another. These are the the ancient earthen ramparts of the hillfort, which have grown over with plants over time. Just emerging from the bottom of the outer ring, there is an additional incomplete rampart, which forms a curved enclosure of sorts.
