Around Cornwall in 38 churns

Keep in the loop at www.cornwall-living.co.uk

A remarkable and unusual art project has been launched to raise funds for Cornish healthcare charity Cornwall Hospice Care. ‘Around Cornwall in 38 Churns’ has been devised by Sue Dennett of Newquay who also wanted to showcase the county’s talented artists and stunning locations. The project is being supported by Rodda’s Creamery, Visit Cornwall and David Lay Auctions and will culminate in an auction of the churns. Artists from across Cornwall have been given a churn, kindly donated by Rodda’s Creamery, and have offered their talent and time to decorate each one in their own particular style. They include famous names such as Kurt Jackson, Michael Praed, Dick Twinney and Lorna Wiles. Each will be featured at venues around Cornwall through the summer and people will be encouraged to follow a trail. Nick Rodda is the Managing Director of Rodda’s Creamery: “Churns are not only iconic but a beautiful shape and I think they lend themselves to this charity project. This is a brilliant idea and showcases our heritage while also giving a nod to the current day talents of our local artists. Rodda’s is part of the tapestry of Cornwall and we’ve always worked with local charities.”

This year’s Taste of Scilly festival runs from the 15th to 25th September. Chef Simon Stallard, whose renowned clifftop café The Hidden Hut and recently opened pub The Standard, both on the Roseland, will be travelling to the islands using local produce to cook up some very special feasts in September. The events take place on the 23rd on Tresco, the 24th on St. Martin’s and the 23rd on St. Mary’s. Visit visitislesofscilly.comwww. for more details.

Scilly Chilli The heat is on at Hillside Farm on Bryher. Rearing their own Red Devon beef cattle, alongside chickens and bees, as well as growing fruit and vegetables, the farm offers a diverse habitat that is managed speciﬁcally to sustain wildlife. Lockdown, as with many companies, saw them hit rock bottom as income from their holiday lets and honesty stall disappeared overnight. A glut of chillies saw owners Ruth and Graham buy a dehydrator in a bid to ﬁnd a product that would save the farm. Light to post, the resulting scarlet gems caused a stir on both the mainland and the farm stall and so Scilly Chilli (scillychilli.co.uk) was born.

 INSET

BrownAdj©Image BrownAdj©Image COVERCORNWALLFEATURELIVING | 25 the and  ABOVE FarmVeronicaFudge BrownAdj©Image CORNWALL LIVING | 11

My ﬁrst experience of Scilly was a holiday on St Mary’s as a young girl some 40 years ago. The nearest we got to a foodie feast back then was a bag of chips and an ice-cream sat overlooking Pelistry Bay. Subsequent years saw us spend two idyllic weeks every year on St Martin’s. This was a time of simple pleasures, where the absence of mains electricity meant that the hum of the generators played the soundtrack to our evenings. Each morning we collected our milk in churns from Carron Farm and a stroll to the pub for a rum and shrub at the Seven Stones was much loved. Flowers rather than food were one of the main industries on the islands during that time, but the growth of overseas production resulted in a decline in the industry.

Testament to their resilience, the islanders were undeterred and turned to production of a different kind – namely food and drink. Such is the plethora of producers and growers on the islands now, they even boast their own festival, The Taste of Scilly which takes place in September each year. We take a tasting tour of just a few who are leading the way.

Fantastic feasts and where to ﬁnd them…

As with many of the producers on Scilly, small-scale production often begins with kitchen table R&D. This was the case for the Taylor family, whose Bryher-based fudge making ( veronicafarmfudge.co.uk ) began over 20 years ago on their AGA, using traditional methods and local milk from Troytown Farm on St Agnes. Moving to Bryher from the mainland in the 70s, owners Kris and Geoff were in the business of ﬂowers rather than fudge, but when the narcissus market dwindled due to European competition they needed to diversify. Their entrepreneurial daughter Issy had been making fudge to fund dance lessons, and when she left for university, they took over the production of these sweet treats, scaling the business and rescuing the farm’s future. WestwardFarmGin Scilly Chilli DIDEXPERIENCEYOUKNOW?

Westward Farm Neighbouring St Agnes farm (westwardfarm. co.uk) has been producing soap and toiletries for many years, growing plants on the farm which are then harvested and distilled to produce the quality essential oils that provide the enticing fragrance of their soap, shower gel and hand wash. Using their experience of extracting the very best qualities from different botanicals, thoughts turned to gin! Aiden Hicks, the seventh-generation custodian of Westward Farm, wanted to create an honest gin using as many seasonal botanicals from the farm as possible. Other ingredients don’t travel far, including honey from Tresco, used to create an exclusive Tresco Abbey Garden gin.

COVER FEATURE 12 | CORNWALL LIVING

Troytown Farm With its campsite that sits at the very edge of the island, Troytown Farm (troytown.co.uk), as with many businesses on Scilly, has more than one string to its bow. It’s the only dairy farm on the islands with just 11 milking Jersey and Ayrshire cows. A daily milk round on St Agnes has expanded with Troytown milk now being exported to the other islands.

Tresco Honey

The bees who make the hives in the Abbey Garden (tresco.co.uk) their home have a very unique foraging landscape. As well as over 80 exotic sub-tropical species in the garden, the bees have access to botanicals from the length and breadth of the island. Tresco bee aﬁcionado Jilly Halliday, who established The Scillonian Bee Project in 2021 to protect the 11 hives they have on the island and to save the island’s native dark honey bee, is the custodian of the island’s bee population. With hives on Bryher, St Martin’s and St Agnes, each jar of island honey has its own unique taste due to its local conditions and is used to ﬂavour other island produce such as fudge, ice-cream, gin and rum.

The Island Bakery Barney McLachlan is an early riser on St Martin’s as the island’s daily batch of organic breads and rolls is baked. Starting at 4am, the ﬁrst task of the day is to decide how much to bake based on visitor predictions, which can be up to a staggering 600 a day if the weather is good and there’s a double landing of trip boats to the island. As well as daily bread favourites, including a reducedsized camper’s loaf specially produced for St Martin’s campsite guests, Barney and his team also bake sweet pastries as well as a ubiquitous Cornish pasty (baked to a special island recipe of course!) that is always a sell-out.

Another farm to have lost their flower crop, the Hicks family knew they had to turn their attentions to production of a different kind to supplement the milk sales. Clotted cream came first, followed by a luxurious smallbatch ice cream that is now available in over 30 flavours.

SC Dogs Growing sugar cane on what were once flower fields on St Martin’s, Andrew Walder of SC Dogs (scdogs.co.uk) is hoping that his harvest will eventually result in the islands' first true field-to-bottle spirits. Based at Carron farm, each of SC Dogs' vodka and rum (named for a combination of the island’s fishing boat prefix SC as well as Andrew’s and Scilly’s seafaring past) is dedicated to a venerable island ‘sea dog’. Bottles are adorned with a portrait of said sea dogs drawn by local artists, printed on the inside of the label appearing ghost-like through the Scilly spirits.

Mike launches daily to fish the waters around Scilly in his 43-year-old self-built vessel, The Emerald Dawn SC35. Ably supported by son Mark’s Dorothy Ethel and grandson Shamus’ Ma Vie, this little fleet of boats lands its catch of crab and lobster from up to 250 baited pots. This is truly a family business with Mark’s wife Amanda checking, cooking and picking the catch. What isn’t sold from their deli-counter is destined for the islands' restaurants and merchants on the mainland.

Once a flower farm, whose bulbs still make a surprise appearance now and again with daffodils and lily of the valley flowering amongst the vines, its natural evergreen pittosporum windbreaks now protect the vines rather than the bulbs. Grown just a few yards from where they are pressed, the vines have minimal input with a predominantly organic spray regime. This core principle of sustainable organic production encourages natural pest predators with flowers under every footstep.

The south coast of Cornwall provides a gentle pace of life that, in recent times, has become increasingly popular, and if any town encapsulates what makes it so special, it has to be Falmouth. A harbour town with centuries of maritime heritage, Falmouth is rooted in the coastal lifestyle. It’s also home to a flourishing culinary scene, providing epicurean treats for all across a heady mix of trendy bars, cafés, delicatessens and restaurants overlooking the marina, which is why foodies love Falmouth. For those who take joy from the creative expression of others, Falmouth is home to its own university and provides fertile ground for creatives of all disciplines, with some superb galleries and exhibition spaces open to visitors. The Poly is a great example, with a constantly updating schedule of exhibitions, talks, well as locals and visitors, this harbour town has a distinct appeal to those hoping to secure their dream home by the sea.

Put simply, Falmouth is a microcosm of everything that makes Cornwall so attractive to so many, with which Matthew Rowe and Martyn Rohrs, founders of award-winning Cornish estate agents, Rohrs & Rowe, agree. Perhaps unsurprisingly, they have seen exceptional demand in recent times in the Falmouth area. “In fact,” says Matthew, “after having recently successfully sold a number of the best properties in Falmouth at record prices for their areas and roads, we are still experiencing excellent demand from motivated buyers. As examples of the homes that Rohrs & Rowe have sold recently, Matthew shows us to Chy Wyn. With great views across Falmouth Bay, this three-bedroom home occupies an enviable spot close to Gyllyngvase beach. Beautifully kept gardens provide space in which to enjoy the sun, as does a broad, firstfloor balcony – the perfect spot for a glass of something chilled after a day spent exploring. Recently updated throughout, with a large garage offering the potential for development subject to permissions, it comes as no surprise that Chy Wyn did not remain on the market forAnotherlong. example is 13 Stratton Terrace, also a Grade II listed residence but from the Georgian era. Once the residence of a packet ship captain, who is believed to have had it designed to match his cabin, the accommodation today combines immaculate interiors with astonishing water views to create the dream coastal home. It sits in an elevated position, enjoying stunning views across the river to the pretty village of Flushing on the opposite shore, and lies conveniently close to the many facilities for which Falmouth has become so popular. With additional accommodation in the form of a two-bedroom annexe, along with a one-bedroom, ground-floor apartment, there’s plenty of room for a family with guests to spread out. If you have a property in the Falmouth area and are considering selling, Rohrs & Rowe continue to see exceptional demand for properties there, and as such are always on the lookout for further homes to satisfy this.

Gyllyngvase is perhaps the best-known, located just a ten-minute walk from the town centre with a fine crescent of sand. Popular with families and with great amenities, the water here is great for kids (and grown-ups) to keep busy whilst they leave you to sunbathe, and there are plenty of chances to enjoy the water in adventurous ways, be it with a coasteering tour of the coastline, or by hiring a stand-up paddleboard (SUP) and exploring it from the water! Afterwards, if you’re among the many hoping to sample the delights of the aforementioned food scene, then you won’t be disappointed. Open in the summer from 9am to 7pm from Monday to Thursday, then until 9pm from Friday to Sunday, Gylly Beach Café has everything you and your crew need to refuel. The ethos here is that ‘Good food takes a little longer’, and rightly so! Open throughout the year, this is the ideal place to enjoy anything from a relaxing coffee with homemade cake, to a tasty lunchtime treat or even an evening dinner with the family. It also has the added benefit of a bakery next door – the Bakery on the Beach. Alternatively, if you're looking for a more relaxing way to spend your time, why not instead book in for the day at St Michaels Cornwall Spa? Home to the largest hydrothermal pool in the south west, with plenty of treatments and experiences available, it’s the perfect venue in which to enjoy some ‘r&r’. And when you’re done, round off the day with a two or threecourse meal at Brasserie on the Bay where, by working closely with local producers, farmers and fishermen, the chefs deliver a menu that champions everything grown, reared and hooked in Cornwall.

Perhaps nobody is more familiar with this trend than Martyn Rohrs and Matthew Rowe, founders of award-winning Cornish estate agents, Rohrs & Rowe, who sell some of the Camel Estuary area’s most exceptional and soughtafter property. Before we get into those however, let’s dive a little deeper into what makes this stretch of Cornwall so alluring.

CAMEL ESTUARY

THE ESTUARY

If days spent under the power of sail are your idea of zen, then the Camel Estuary is home to some of the finest sailing waters in the UK, particularly in Rock. Championing the philosophy and traditions of good seamanship, keen racing and a happy family atmosphere, Rock Sailing Club welcomes new members with open arms, providing the perfect environment to spend time with likeminded seagoers, a place to make life-long friends and share in the joy of time spent on the water. Perhaps, instead, you wish to take a guided tour of the waterways, sitting back as you watch the coastline ebb past? If so, there are a number of tour agencies providing trips designed to show you the very best of what the sheltered waters here have to offer, ê BELOW GreatFarmhouseEngollan

W inding its way gently inland, the Camel Estuary is a walkers’ paradise, a wildlife haven, a must-visit for cyclists, and home to some of the most esteemed chefs and restaurateurs in Cornwall. No wonder then, that the area has become a beacon of promise to those seeking a tonic to an increasingly busy and stressful lifestyle, providing a sense of ocean-aired freedom that so many of us have found ourselves craving in the wake of events over the past two years. Especially in light of the pandemic that’s still very much LIFESTYLE 22 | CORNWALL LIVINGIn conversation with Rohrs and Rowe, we ask what it is about the Camel Estuary that continues to draw buyers in search of their dream home.

including wildlife spotting and even fishing, perfect for catching your supper before heading home and firing up the grill. Alternatively, if you prefer solid ground beneath your feet, then the Camel Estuary provides some of the finest cycling you’ll find in Cornwall, namely the Camel Trail, which offers cyclists of all ages and abilities the chance to take an easy ride. There are plenty of places to enjoy lunch, too, all with incredible views and spots from which to watch the local wildlife. Of course, for some, nothing beats a bucket and spade day on the beach, in which case, one of the famed ‘Seven Bays’, centred around the small village of St Merryn, will provide you with all the sun, sand and sea you could ask for. Whichever way in which you choose to spend your days, the Cornish sea air is sure to sharpen your appetite, and where better to be than in the culinary capital of Cornwall, Padstow? Renowned for the collection of celebrity owned restaurants, including those of Rick Stein and Paul Ainsworth, with Nathan Outlaw’s offering available further along the coast, there’s a reason that foodies flock to Padstow every year! Drawing on the region’s abundance of fresh, seasonal produce, daily caught seafood and locally reared meats, the changing menus of the restaurants around the estuary are an allure in themselves. But it isn’t just the landscape, coastline and lifestyle that draw buyers to the Camel Estuary. The stamp of property here is exceptional, as is evident in the list of available, coming soon and recently sold homes on the books of Rohrs and Rowe. Take Trevoseen, for example; a five/sixbedroom coastal home with outstanding sea views across the entirety of Trevone Bay (one of the aforementioned Seven Bays). Striking and exceptionally spacious, the house has been designed to maximise the stunning, uninterrupted sea views. Set out over three floors, the accommodation and living spaces provide ample room to spread out, with floor-to-ceiling windows opening out onto the terrace and providing the ocean views beyond. With beautifully set-out gardens, a broad sun terrace and an excellent, recently built summer house at the bottom of the garden that’s perfect for entertaining, Trevoseen is a prime example of the quality buyers have come to expect from property in the Padstow area. Another contrasting yet excellent example, is Great Engollan Farm. This handsome, detached coastal farmhouse boasts five bedrooms in the main residence. Add to this a one-bedroom integral annexe called The Loft, as well as an additional one-bedroom separate cottage within the grounds called The Nook, and the flexible accommodation at Great Engollan lends itself to visitors, dependent family members, or even the potential for additional income via holiday lettings. With parking for numerous cars, a detached double garage, and being less than two miles from the nearest beach, Porthcothan Bay, Great Engollan provides the space and lifestyle that two years of lockdowns have left so many searching for. Rohrs & Rowe have numerous other properties either on, or coming to, the market in the Camel Estuary area over the course of the summer, so be sure to get in contact and register your details to find out more. & ROWE 01872 Findwww.rohrsandrowe.co.uk306360morelikethis:www.cornwall-living.co.uk

A gorgeous old farm building turned five-star holiday rental at the hands of iroka. fresh layout by the expert eye of iroka

With a reputation for a keen eye when it comes to innovative, fresh interiors, it comes as no surprise that iroka were the top choice for Boskensoe Barns when the time came for an overhaul. As part of a collection of five stunning barn conversions – including The Stable, Long House, Pig House and The Mill – The Granary was the final addition to the enchanting group of luxury holiday rentals, touched by the expert hands of iroka.

A custom kitchen and utility was also designed in-house, and features a matt black longline handle, contrasting wonderfully against a light driftwood-style slab door. Integrated LED strip lighting was installed along with a full-height Caesarstone splash back and worktop with streaks of grey vein, finished with draining grooves, while the cabinetry was produced by German manufacturers AGKU and installed by their dedicated, specially selected and highly skilled trades and craftsmen.

Wanting to combine the heritage of the buildings with a modern and contemporary look, each barn was individually styled by iroka, incorporating their history and identity. Features like exposed beams are in keeping with the rustic feel of the farm, while Scandinavian and Japandi inspired interiors add a modern, natural and luxurious touch, with a comprehensive range of finishes handpicked by iroka’s Hayle-based interior design team.

A beautiful timber staircase, designed by the team, has been finished using flush stair nosings to keep the look as minimalist and seam-free as possible, while the feature slat wall certainly makes an impact to the downstairs living area, offering an architectural feature to provide natural light which runs up through the staircase. Bespoke carpentry has been integrated throughout; fixtures and fittings like the stunning oak acupanel wood cladding system in the dining area is in keeping with the Nordic feel, which is reflected in subtle details throughout the property.

which draws on the feeling of comfortable conviviality that brings with it a feeling of calm contentment. One particular highlight of the room is the wood-burning stove feature wall, designed by the iroka team and thoroughly thought out, incorporating a slate split-face tile chimney breast, slate hearth, bespoke oak shelving, lined log store, modern inset wood-burning stove and finished with a handless, stone-top storage unit and accent slatted wall panelling. A natural colour palette of deep forest green and stone greys from Ecru is accentuated nicely with paint colours from Little Greene, and the study area features wall cladding for an added texture against Little Greene’s shade of ‘Livid’.

Comfort and durability line the floors in the form of quality carpeting, something which iroka pride themselves on, with department specialists on hand in their Hayle showroom, primed to advise on the perfect flooring.

Restful tones of rich greens and earthy rust notes layered with textures of matt cotton velvets and linens bring a restful, calm feeling into the bedrooms, very much in keeping with the farm setting. Light wood furniture fitted and installed by the in-house delivery team complement the stunning A-frame beams that crown the master bedroom, while handmade curtains and roman blinds dress the windows throughout the property in neutral, simplistic fabrics, hung by iroka’s in-store specialist.

It’s certainly clear that every detail has been taken into consideration by the design team at iroka, from the floors and doors to the handles and hinges. Every piece of furniture finds purpose in its rightful place, and nothing has been overlooked when it comes to this enchanting five-star holiday rental, which is lying in wait for you to book your next stay with Sykes Cottages. For all things interior, iroka have a wealth of information and services available via their showrooms, so make sure to get in touch with the experts of the industry.

Let’s not forget the striking contemporary bathrooms, adorned with rich, dark herringbone tiles against the statement oval-shaped freestanding bath. Contrasting brushed brassware finishes off the look with a high-end finish, and the over-sized walk-in shower provides a luxurious addition amidst the neutral base of the light grey porcelain stone tiles.

The Cornish Holiday Company, established by Sarah and Emma in 2020, traces its genesis back to Sarah’s first company, Turnaround Property Management, and Emma’s expertise in dealing with the general public. When they met and became friends, it wasn’t going to be long before a joint venture would take off. Both are business-minded women, so their conversations would often turn to the opportunities presenting themselves around them. It was in 2019, as they became aware of how popular Cornwall was becoming, that they realised they had the perfect business venture sitting right in front of them – one that would allow them to combine property management with the letting of holiday homes – and The Cornish Holiday Company was born! What’s more, sharing an office with its parent company enables seamless communication between staff and clients –from hosting properties, to managing them.

To eat at the hotel is to go on a sensory journey. The evening starts in the bar, where appetites are whetted with a pre-dinner tipple and intricately crafted canapés.

The menus change to reflect the seasons and spoils of the surrounding countryside and sea. Seasonal highlights for starters might include a heritage tomato salad with gazpacho and a crunchy sesame cracker, or John Dory with fragrant curry oil, toasted macadamia, cauliflower and bittersweet chicory. For the main event, Glen cites the melt in the mouth fillet of beef with beer-braised beef cheek amongst his favourite dishes. And while the menu is unashamedly heavy on meat and fish, when it turns to vegetarian options, it does so with no less aplomb. There is also the regularly changing specials menu, which works to the mantra ‘when they’re gone, they’re gone’.

The dessert menu is where the young pastry chef Alisha gets to shine, carefully pairing palette-pleasing sorbets with a delicate strawberry mille-feuille or a black forest dark chocolate delice. Alternatively, cheese-lovers can opt to take a taste tour around the county via Bude, Redruth, Padstow and the Helford. What is abundantly clear is that a good deal of love has gone into the execution of every dish. That such a small team can turn out such exquisite fare is a delightful surprise, one that simply has to be enjoyed ﬁrst-hand to be believed.

From his first still, commissioned over ten years ago, John realised there was a gap in the market for genuinely high-quality spirits. Suitably galvanised, he set out to bring the methodology of distilling firmly into the 21st century. His creations have won the most prestigious awards at leading international spirit competitions and he is consistently leading innovation in the spirit’s market. In fact, he was first in the UK to distil rum, sambuca and baijiu, and has developed worldleading techniques for extracting flavours and accelerating ageing processes. The adventure evening will see the unveiling of the next venture with the final course! The event takes place on Saturday 3rd November, with booking details available on the Treguddick website.

I have already begun working with the team on our first events and I have been delighted to put together the first five-course menu for the first anniversary of Treguddick on November 3rd.” Opened in October last year, Treguddick is located just outside of Launceston. In 2019 the barn was transformed into a beautiful and versatile venue, perfect for events, days out and memorable experiences.

They are known throughout the county for crafting beautiful, bespoke pieces of jewellery, bringing designs to life that are each as unique as the customers who commission them. Having now been joined by their son David, they are extremely passionate about what they do, believing that jewellery is so much more than precious stones and metals. In fact, the workshop is underpinned by the understanding that jewellery can be bought, or commissioned, for any number of reasons. Whether it’s a gift for a loved one, or the reimagining of a family heirloom to create something that suits the latest beneficiary, they can help, and it doesn’t matter whether you’re remodelling, resizing, recycling or re-designing; they promise to make your experience one that’s both personal and“Havingexciting.someone take the time to understand what you are looking for is just as important as the making, here at The Jewellery Workshop,” says Paul. “Along with helping customers find new or preloved jewellery, we also love creating unique pieces from family heirlooms – it’s just a lovely way of creating individual pieces that people will cherish for a lifetime.” It’s no surprise then that visitors to Porthleven return to the workshop year after year, in search of the next exciting jewellery piece. Many of them bring with them diamonds and opals, while others come hoping to source the perfect stones to match the design they have in their mind’s eye. Whatever it might be, Clair and Paul have the expertise required to bring those designs to life. “Each family heirloom that we see is endowed with its own emotional values and sentiments, and holds a story that’s led us to this moment,” says Claire. “Every step of the journey is unique to the customer and it’s such a joy to be a part of it.” But every dream has an end, and so it is for the Jewellery Workshop. Having created such a successful business, it’s time to move on, so Clair and Paul are looking to sell their pot of gold and head to their next adventure. Tempted?

In this beautiful piece, the thin layers of glass are carefully cut to create the background image, then crushed glass (called ‘frit’) is added.

Learning to surf on a regular surfboard requires years of practice and even then, the sport remains super difﬁcult and ﬁckle and rides are short. When you’re on an e-foil however, you can keep going forever – or at least as long as your battery lasts.

The experienced instructors make sure that all lessons are safe and fun, and importantly, that you have an unforgettable time. You can choose between three different types of lesson.
