      Mill

      June 19, 2023 in England ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

      Cotehele Mill // Callington

      Wenn Sie auf der Suche nach einem angenehmen Waldspaziergang unweit von Saltash oder Callington sind , ist die denkmalgeschützte Cotehele Mill genau das Richtige für Sie. Es gibt eine Auswahl an Wanderrouten, entweder vom Cotehele House , das dem National Trust gehört , oder vom Quay. Das denkmalgeschützte Haus stammt aus dem Mittelalter und wurde von Sir Richard Edgecumbe modernisiert, der das Anwesen erbte, nachdem er in der Schlacht von Bosworth für die Tudors gekämpft hatte.

      Es ist ziemlich sicher, dass es hier im Mittelalter und möglicherweise schon früher eine Mühle gab, obwohl die heutige Struktur aus dem 19. Jahrhundert stammt.

      In den 1860er Jahren erweiterten die Pächter, die Familie Langsford, die Mühle. Sie bauten auf der einen Seite eine Bäckerei und auf der anderen ein Sägewerk sowie ein zweites Wasserrad an, um das Sägewerk mit Strom zu versorgen. An der aktuellen Struktur hat sich seit den 1930er-Jahren kaum etwas geändert, als große Getreidemühlen es für kleine Mühlen wie Cotehele schwierig machten, mitzuhalten.

      Cothele House & Garden

      June 5, 2023 in England ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

      Heute stand die Fahrt durch das Dartmoor 🥰 auf dem Programm. Auf dem Weg dorthin besuchten wir zunächst aber Cothele. Cotehele House ist ein im Tudorstil erbautes Herrenhaus in der Grafschaft Cornwall und gilt als eines der am wenigsten veränderten mittelalterlichen Herrenhäuser Englands. Das gesamte Anwesen sowie die zugehörige Mühle werden heute vom National Trust, einer gemeinnützigen Organisation, verwaltet.
      Rund um das Haus gibt es verschiedene Gärten, die zum Verweilen einladen. In dem kleinen Café kann man sich anschließend stärken 😋      Read more

      Cotehele

      June 19, 2023 in England ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

      Geschichte

      Im Jahr 1353 heiratete Hilaria de Cotehele William Edgcumbe und das mittelalterliche Haus in Cotehele ging an die Familie Edgcumbe über. Zwischen 1485 und etwa 1560 wurde das Haus von aufeinanderfolgenden Generationen von Edgcumbes umgebaut, was zu dem im Wesentlichen im Tudorstil gehaltenen Haus führte, das heute existiert. Doch 1553, bevor die Bauarbeiten überhaupt abgeschlossen waren, wurde Cotehele verlassen und Sie zog nach Mount Edgcumbe , dem neu fertiggestellten Tudor-Herrenhaus der Edgcumbes im Süden Cornwalls, das zu ihrem Hauptsitz wurde.

      In den 1660er Jahren lebte Colonel Piers Edgcumbe in Cotehele und gestaltete die Innenräume um, aber sein Sohn entschied sich, nach Mount Edgcumbe zurückzukehren. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs wurde Mount Edgcumbe durch Bombenangriffe weitgehend zerstört und Cotehele wurde erneut zum Familiensitz der Edgcumbes.

      Im Jahr 1947 wurde Cotehele in die Obhut des National Trust gegeben.

      Cornish Coast Experience

      May 29, 2019 in England ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      Day 8
      You wake each day unsure of the weather, it was overcast, cloudy and raining intermittently all day today, not so good when your day is based around visiting seaside villages.
      Never the less we’re continued to traverse the country side, our first stop was Dartmoor, which is a moor in southern Devon, England. Protected by National Park status as Dartmoor National Park. It was pouring with rain and ended up being a very short and wet stop.
      We then headed to Plymouth which is a port city in Devon, southwest England. It’s known for its maritime heritage and historic Barbican district with narrow, cobbled streets. Sutton Harbour looked very cold and misty. The Mayflower Steps are where the Pilgrim Fathers set sail for the New World in 1620, many plaques lined the walls detailing names and dates of voyages across the seas. The usual clan gathered at the local for a pint of lager and a rather healthy serve of fish and chips.
      After leaving Plymouth we headed to a little sea side village called Looe.
      Looe is a small coastal town, fishing port and civil parish in south-east Cornwall. Looe is 20 miles west of Plymouth. We crossed the river Tamar by the Torpoint ferry, it was rather novel driving at rather large coach onto the ferry and being surrounded by tiny little cars. Whilst visiting Looe our tour director Keith treated us to what he described as the best Cornish pasties in Cromwell, I can’t say I had eaten one before but it was ok.      Read more

      Cardiff to Bath and Cornwall

      May 28, 2019 in England ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

      Day 7
      Well as usual we set of early from Cardiff for our drive to Bath. It’s about 320km
      Bath is the largest city in the ceremonial county of Somerset, England, it is well known for its Roman-built baths. Bath is in the valley of the River Avon, 97 miles west of London and 11 miles south-east of Bristol. The weather was kind today with only intermittent showers. Bath has expanded immensely since I was here in 2012. I throughly enjoyed some free time from our group as we had 2 1/2 hours free time to roam around. The Georgian architecture is stunning. It was lovely to walk around 15th century Abbey Church to soak in some history.
      After leaving Bath we headed to Glastonbury. Glastonbury is a town in southwest England. It's known for its ancient and medieval sites, many rich in myth. Glastonbury Tor is a tower-topped hill linked to Arthurian legend, overlooking the marshy Somerset Levels. Once said to be King Arthur’s burial place, Glastonbury Abbey is a ruined monastery dating to the 7th century.
      Glastonbury has few chain stores; instead there are many independent shops with colourful fronts giving the impression that little has changed since yesteryear, until you look closer at the displays – healing crystals, wands and cauldrons, incense, tarot cards, and accessories “for the discerning witch”. It’s is quiet the alternative town.
      After leaving Bath we arrived at destination for the next two days, Cornwall. We are staying at the St Mellion International Golf Resort. It’s a peaceful change from city hotels overlooking the lovely green golf course dotted with little bunnies.
      We are off to Cornwall tonight to a quintessential English country pub dinner.. yummy.      Read more

      Cotehele House

      March 7, 2023 in England ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C

      From Lanhydrock, we drove to Cotehele, another National Trust property.

      Although there has been a dwelling at Cotehele since medieval times, the current house is mostly Tudor, rebuilt by three generations of the Edgcumbe family between 1485 and 1560. The family built another house, Mount Edgcumbe, 12 miles away between 1547 and 1553 and made it their main family seat. So, Cotehele was relegated to second-home status before it was even finished! The result of the house not being used on a daily basis is that it is a bit of a time warp with all the original 16th-century furniture still in place.

      In the mid-18th century, Mount Edgcumbe was remodelled, and all its unfashionable tapestries were shipped up the river Tamar to Cotehele, where they remain today.

      In 1947, Cotehele passed to the National Trust in lieu of death duties. The contents remained in Edgcumbe ownership until they, too, were transferred in 1974.

      We spent a very enjoyable couple of hours exploring the house and grounds.      Read more
