Higher Land Cornwall Map

About Higher Land

Higher Land rests in the rolling Cornish countryside, a quiet corner of England where the land breathes a soft, verdant sigh. It lies 4.4 km north-north-east of Callington (from Callington: bearing 15°T, OS grid SX 371 738), and is situated north of Downgate village. The air here carries a faint scent of damp earth and distant gorse, a fragrance that clings to the stone walls and the sparse cluster of dwellings. Sunlight, when it breaks through the often-grey skies, possesses a particular liquid quality, transforming the greens of the fields into a thousand subtle shades. The lanes that wind through Higher Land are narrow, worn smooth by generations of feet and cartwheels, and often bordered by hedgerows that burst with wild roses in the summer months. Life in Higher Land seems to move with the slow, deliberate pace of the clouds drifting overhead, a gentle unfolding of days marked by the changing seasons and the quiet routines of its inhabitants.
