Tremayne Quay
Almost exactly two hundred years ago, Trelowarren, which has been the home of Cornwall’s Vyvyan family since the time of Henry VII, acquired Tremayne House, as the Trelowarren Dower House. This acquisition also giving the Trelowarren estate access to the Tremayne woods and quay on the Helford river. Tremayne Quay as we know it today, plus a boathouse and a carriageway leading to the Quay, were constructed in 1847 by Sir Richard Vyvyan, in preparation for a visit to Trelowarren by Queen Victoria. What is now the track to the Quay, which is roughly a mile in length, winds down through unspoilt ancient semi-natural and plantation woodland running alongside the Helford River. Some of these woods, notably the mature Beech plantation in the valley at the head of the Creek, were also created by Sir Richard specifically to impress the Queen. Unfortunately for Sir Richard, the Royal Barge never sailed up the Helford to Tremayne Quay, and the visit of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert never actually took place. However, Royalty did eventually land at Tremayne Quay in 1921, when Queen Victoria’s grandson, Edward, Prince of Wales, disembarked to visit to Sir Courtenay and Lady Vyvyan at Trelowarren.
This series of nine Caches, placed by kind permission of the National Trust, can be found on, or close by, Sir Richard's Trelowarren carriageway, which today allows public access to Tremayne Quay,
For this second Cache, Co-ords are iffy, so while walking down the track and approaching GZ, on LH side there are two of Sir Richard's, now magnificent, Oak trees. A short way further down on RH side, is GZ, a third equally magnificent Oak tree.
