Crantock

we love the old village of Crantock, us, 

located near the church of St Carantocus,

with a magnificent beach,

do visit, we beseech, 

if we’re wrong, feel free to dismantle us.

Pendennis Castle

remember King Henry the Eighth?

whose marriages caused many debates,

well, his Falmouth castle, 

caused invaders much hassle, 

sent them all running back to their base.

Gyllyngvase Beach

on a beautiful beach called Gyllyngvase,

you can enjoy the view of the bays,

you can have an ice cream, 

or sit and daydream, 

and all the while the summer sun will blaze.

Charlestown Harbour

the historic old harbour of Charlestown,

isn’t wide enough to get your cars down,

you can admire the ships,

you can eat fish and chips,

you even find reason to half-frown.

Jamaica Inn

it was built back in 1750,

its customers were often quite shifty,

now they stand as hosts,

to a whole lot of ghosts, 

who think that the ambience is nifty.

Boscastle Museum of Witchcraft and Magic

of witchcraft Cecil Williamson was fond,

his museum stands on the edge of beyond,

they stayed afloat through the flood,

scraped away all the mud,

and now they’re renowned tout le monde.

The Lizard Peninsula

the most wonderful thing about the Lizard, 

is to see it in the midst of a blizzard,

when covered in snow, 

it has such a glow,

as to make you say “isn’t that wizard?”

— poetry and picture by Sophie Deakin

Rowena Cade (1893-1983)

there once was a woman named Rowena, 

who carved into Minack an arena, 

she built it by hand, 

out of concrete and sand,

to watch A Midsummer Night’s Dream there.
