Off to the Liskeard Show

Perhaps the best country show in Cornwall, the Liskeard Show was held on 8th September in glorious weather.  Originally planned for July, the event was postponed because of waterlogged fields following a long period of rain.  What an inspired decision to defer it to this weekend. It was well supported with country crafts, animals, tractors and all manner of trade stalls and food and produce for sale.  This was our first visit to the Show and it was good to meet friends and make new acquaintances.  After just over a year, it really feels that we belong to Liskeard.


And, the next day Peter popped down to Menheniot to photograph the Royal Duchy steaming past en route from Bristol to Par.  This steam excursion was hauled by Battle of Britain locomotive 'Tangmere' and running bang on time!

    In Feb 2021 Keith and Karen Burden took ownership of Cider Cottage whilst Lynn and Peter the previous owners moved closer to the sea to explore and enjoy more of a coastal life.
    Karen and Keith want to  keep up the very high standards set by the previous owners and very much look forward to welcoming guests again as soon as Government restrictions are lifted and it is safe to do so. 
    ​Lynn and Peter Murnaghan moved from Winchester, Hampshire to Woodhill Manor in Summer 2011. We then spent a good deal of time and energy renovating Cider Cottage to create a fabulous self-catering holiday venue for discerning guests.
