The map records nothing exceptional about this building, which may be a pump house. We are overlooking the Red River valley.

Farm shop at Higher Trenowin Farm

Actually it's that lane that leads to the farm and the shop. This trailer is strategically placed on the main road.

Arable land at Higher Trenowin

The cut has been made and it seems as though some bales have already been removed from the field as there are not as many there as I would expect. In the distance is Trencrom Hill SW5136

Welcome to Higher Chellew

This is a caravan and camping area, with holiday cottages. You have to put things where they fit, but it is unfortunate that the first thing you meet upon entering the site is the toilet and shower block. I suppose it confirms that they have such a facility. There is a bridleway to the right, where the sign is pointing to Higher Chellew House.

Higher Chellew

Part of the caravan park and camping site. It looks to have been well designed with individual plots and lots of screening.

Bridleway to Higher Trenowin

This is a good bridleway for the most part, but can be a little narrow when the hedges proliferate.

Bridleway towards Lower Chellew

Rain was forecast for the afternoon. It is 1220 and it was here that I felt the first spot of rain. The sky was certainly getting duller, and the view from here of St Michael's Mount (just right of centre horizon) was misty. Two hours later I was getting seriously wet.

Lane towards Lower Trenowin

The lane cuts across the north-east corner of the square. There are no hedges low enough, or gates, to get a decent picture into the square.

Looking north across the top of the hill. From here it's possible to see Hayle Estuary to the north, and St Michael's Mount to the south.

Hayle sands and Godrevy Island from Trencrom

The lighthouse on Godrevy was recently threatened with closure, but may be retained. Trencrom is an old iron age fort.

View northwest from Trencrom Hill

The granite hills west of St Ives dominate the skyline in this northwesterly view from Trencrom hill fort. The Mine engine house and chimney stack of Wheal Sisters (Tincroft and Wheal Mary) are at left centre SW513367. There is another chimney on the right skyline, probably St Ives Consols or Wheal Trewith at grid square SW4939
