TREGONNING HILL SOLD

28.34 hectares (70.0 acres) or thereabouts being

TREGONNING HILL, ASHTON, HELSTON

(with the option to purchase an additional 1 hectare (2.46 acres)

SITUATION

The land is accessed by a lane on the minor road from Ashton to Godolphin opposite Balwest Chapel. Ashton is approximately 1 mile as is Godolphin, with Germoe ½ mile. Praa Sands is approximately 1 mile with the towns of Helston and Penzance each 6 miles.

DESCRIPTION

With stunning views over Mounts Bay, the Lizard and beyond, Tregonning Hill is the highest summit in the area and from the Bronze Age has been an important feature shaped by man. There is evidence of the fort of Castle Pencaire and a Celtic stronghold from c.250 BC.

During the Napoleonic Wars there was a beacon here. In case of a French landing, the beacon was to be lit as a signal to the British Fleet. In the 1700s china clay was quarried here until the early 20th century. In the latter part of the 19th century a brick making business was started with evidence of an old stone kiln still visible. Also present is Germoe War Memorial.

It is now an important environmental area with rare plants present, including ling and bell heathers. Part of the hill is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a Special Area of Conservation (SAC). Natural England state that the SSSI is currently in an “unfavourable declining condition”. “This is because natural succession and vegetation growth has resulted in a loss of suitable habitat (in particular for) Western Rustwort. Western Rustwort has not been recorded at Tregonning Hill for several years although there is a possibility that, with management to recreate suitable habitat conditions, the plant may reappear”.

SCHEDULE

Germoe War Memorial & the land on which it stands was given to Germoe Parish Council in 1927.
