Near the coastal footpath and beaches. The Halgabron Mill property extends to some 20 acres of gardens and woodland, with the Trevillet Stream, which rises to the south, running down the middle and around the Mill before dropping under the bridge over the B3263 and out to the sea at the bottom of the spectacular Rocky Valley. A public footpath leading to the open valley past St. Nectan’s Waterfall, higher up the valley descends from the Halgabron road, through the Mill woods and crosses the stream by a footbridge at the far end of the property. There it joins the main public footpath from Trethevy past the little church of St. Piran and the well adjoining it. St. Nectan was one of the band of West Country Saints who kept the Celtic brand of Christianity alive in the so called “dark ages” of the Anglo Saxon conquest of England, after the departure of the Romans in the 5th century A.D. He is also associated with Hartland in North Devon. Cottage guests are welcome to join the public footpath by crossing the footbridge onto the main lawn, keeping beside the border and then crossing the second footbridge to join the private path through the woods. It must be understood that guests walk this route entirely at their own risk! After about 200yards the path meets up with the public path coming down from Halgabron. The Halgabron Mill woods include principally Sycamore, Beech and Ash with some Hornbeam, Rowan, willow and Elder. In Spring they are carpeted with Bluebells and in Summer there are many wild flowers. There is a good variety of birdlife including one or two pairs of Buzzard. The Stream contains a large number of native Brown Trout and one or two can usually be seen when crossing the footbridge onto the main lawn or from the patio beside the laundry. The property belongs to Mr. and Mrs. Philip and Elaine Evans whose family use the main Mill house (known as ‘The Keep’) as a holiday residence. Their son Robin Evans is their resident representative with his office in ‘The Keep’.
