Lane to Trenarren

Trenarren (Cornish : Dinaran) [1] is a hamlet northeast of Pentewan in mid Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. [2] A. L. Rowse the historian lived in his retirement in Trenarren House.

Cornish is a revived language that became extinct as a first language in the late 18th century. It is a member of the Brittonic Southwestern branch of the Celtic languages of the Indo-European language family that was native to Cornwall in south-west England. A revival began in the early 20th century. Some have expressed the opinion that the language is an important part of Cornish identity, culture and heritage. Cornish is currently recognised under the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages. It has a growing number of second language speakers. A few parents are inspired to create new first language speakers, by teaching their children the language from birth.

Bodmin Moor granite moorland in northeastern Cornwall, England

Bodmin Moor is a granite moorland in northeastern Cornwall, England. It is 208 square kilometres (80 sq mi) in size, and dates from the Carboniferous period of geological history. It includes Brown Willy, the highest point in Cornwall, and Rough Tor, a slightly lower peak. Many of Cornwall's rivers have their sources here. It has been inhabited since at least the Neolithic era, when primitive farmers started clearing trees and farming the land. They left their megalithic monuments, hut circles and cairns, and the Bronze Age culture that followed left further cairns, and more stone circles and stone rows. By medieval and modern times, nearly all the forest was gone and livestock rearing predominated.
