St Nectan's Glen (for sale?)

Rumour has it that St Nectan's Glen is up for sale. I say rumour because of all the posts I've seen so far no one has yet circulated the actually buyer's prospectus for the sale. Even so it is said that the strongest offers so far are from a proposed theme park and even a religious group that plans to return the site to exclusively christian use. Now these might be mere scare stories designed to hurry others with a lot of spare cash to make a bid and save the Glen for future generations - pagans included. For those who don't know it the Glen is a much loved north cornwall beauty spot. It is also a site often visited by pagans and the location for many a heathen rite and handfasting.

The asking price is likely to be high - some say as much as 1.5 million pounds which would probably put it beyond the resources of most pagan organisations. But perhaps there is an institutional buyer, the local council or the national trust who might be lobbeyed to step in and save the place for the public. Although I don't come from Cornwall I'm sure I am amongst many who would really be sorry if the present arrangements came to an end.

Unlike the previous excellent CD emanating from Boscastle's amazing museum, this one is not locally produced but is in fact a compilation of many wonderful tracks from previously issued albums and artists. For example the ever famous Thomas the Rhymer is here included in the version of Both Shine As One by Ron Taylor & Jeff Gillett. Or the Song Alison Gross, made famous for me at least by 1970s folk rockers Steeleye Span is here included in the very fine version of Last Leaves by Malinky Greentrax. So this is a great compilation and you're gonna kick yourself if you don't buy it. Includes a lovely CD cover, lyrics and photographs from the museum whose work all profits will help support.
