From here you have a magnificent view of The River Gannel Estuary. The name of the river is from the Cornish An Ganel meaning "the channel". It's hard to imagine these days, but once upon a time today's tranquil estuary was a busy hub of activity. Ships were built in the old boatyard below and launched on a Spring Tide. Once known as the Port of Truro, large, ocean-bound ships moved coal and metal until as late as the end of the nineteenth century, The Gannel is tidal and at high tide paddleboarders, kayakers and canoeists can often be seen paddling the clear waters. Low tide reveals huge sand banks, a winding channel and a veritable haven for bird life.
Whilst searching for the cache, you may be able to help solve the mystery of the 'Gannel Crake.' The phenomenon is famous among locals and stretches back well over two centuries. It is best described as a torturous, haunting sound that usually occurs early or late in the day. Is the sound made by a mythical bird, a visiting creature, or could it be something more sinister?
Don't let this put you off! - it's actually a very beautiful and peaceful place.
