Cornwall is famous for tin but though North Wales is often considered the UK capital of slate, Cornwall has had an equally pivotal role to play in supplying our country with the attractive, finely-laminated rock. It was a vital component of the industrial revolution...

I’ve often passed The Screech Owl Sanctuary whilst driving along the A30 at Goss Moor. To be honest, it’s been on my ‘to do’ list for a long time but without young children in the house to provide the imperative for visiting a local attraction, it kept getting...
