Watergate, Cornwall Weather
About Watergate, Cornwall
Watergate remains a quiet enclave of stone and shadow, holding its place against the persistent winds of the North Cornwall plateau. It lies 1.7 miles south-south-east of Camelford (from Camelford: bearing 148°T, OS grid SX 119 814), and is situated south-south-east of Tregoodwell village. The heavy, unyielding earth here is marked by the presence of a stone hut circle settlement and a coaxial field system, where ancient boundaries still trace the contours of the rising moorland. These remnants of a prehistoric past suggest a long, silent endurance, far removed from the clamour of modern industry. To the north-west, the solitary 'Long Stone' punctuates the horizon, a grey sentinel that seems to draw the pale, thinning light of evening into its own weathered granite. Watergate sits amidst a landscape where the soil is thin and the gorse thick, offering little comfort to the idle but much to the observant eye. The air here carries the sharp, clean scent of high ground, untempered by the shelter of valley timber. Every drystone wall in Watergate acts as a testament to the labour of generations who carved a livelihood from this exposed and challenging terrain.
