"Journey through Time: Exploring the Enchanting Penkivel" Step back in time to the picturesque landscapes of Cornwall, where history whispers through every corner. Malpas Ferry offers a captivating view towards Ferryside Cottage and the charming Ferry House on the St Michael Penkivel side. Transport yourself to 8th July 1912, when this scene was frozen in time. Penkivel manor house stands proudly amidst its surroundings, an elegant testament to bygone days. Though the exact date remains unknown, it is believed to have graced these lands during the early 1900s. Imagine strolling along its grounds and experiencing life as it once was. Gazing across from St Michael Penkivel, we are transported further into history with glimpses of Malpas in the early 1900s. The tranquil waters of Tregothnan landing witness countless comings and goings via Malpas Ferry around 1887 and even into the bustling 1920s. A thatched cottage nestled within St Michael Penkivel captures our attention next; a humble abode that likely witnessed tales of love, laughter, and everyday life during its existence throughout the early 1900s. Merther Lane beckons us forward with its timeless charm—a pathway that has guided many footsteps over generations within St Michael Penkivel since perhaps as far back as the early 1900s itself. Woodkeepers cottages at Tregothnan offer a glimpse into another era—an idyllic setting that exudes tranquility against nature's backdrop. These cottages stood tall during their heyday in all their glory throughout probably early-1900s Cornwall. Lamorran Wood invites us deeper into enchantment—a place where nature reigns supreme. As we wander through this woodland paradise dating back possibly to between-the-wars period (1920-1939), we can almost hear whispers carried by the wind.
