Head south for the charming traditional fishing village of Mousehole(pronounced Mowzle), one of Cornwall’s hidden gems(as much as anything in this part of the world can be!). With a thriving harbor and a tumble of narrow cobbled streets to explore, there are lots of things to see and do in the village. Porthcurno A coloured chart of Falmouth Haven and the river Fal up to Truro; drawn 1590-1600 This sixteenth century drawing shows the layout of Falmouth harbour in Cornwall. It must have been drawn after the completion of Pendennis and St Mawes Castles in the 1540’s as these are depicted, although in a fanciful manner bearing little resemblance to the real structures. These castles were part of a defensive chain built by Henry VIII after a peace treaty was signed by Francis I of France and Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain in 1538, making invasion of England probable. England and France were ancient enemies and the catholic Charles V, nephew of Catherine of Aragon, was angered by Henry VIII’s decision to divorce her. Henry’s dissolution of the monasteries provided him with enormous wealth with which he was able to commission surveys of the vulnerable coastline and build defence fortifications. Westbound - through traffic and HGV’s will be diverted via the A39, A393 and A3047. Please also use this route to access Truro. On the 8 and 9 June, the project team will be out and about in National Highways’ mobile exhibition van. Come say hi and find out more about our upcoming work. Dates, times and locations are as follows: At the end of the month the A30 between Mitchell and Carland Cross will be changed to a contraflow (one lane in either direction) until the opening of the new road.

The Lizard Peninsula has several National Trust properties. Visit the historic Lizard Point Lighthouse, which offers guided tours, or the Trelowarren Estate and the fishing village of Poltesco. From 3 September to the end of the month, there will be lane closures in both directions between Carland Cross and Mitchell. This includes the westbound approach to Carland Cross.

The DCO process was established by the Planning Act 2008 and is used for certain large and complex schemes (including highway improvements) that have been designated as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) by the Government. This will be the next milestone for the project as a new temporary link from Carland Cross to the A30 is introduced to prepare for the construction of a flyover later in the year as part of a new junction. The existing A30 is being realigned to allow the removal of the plant crossing currently in place and facilitate a major earthworks programme. This will remove any interface between our vehicles and the traveling public and allow significant volumes of material to be moved during the summer months. You’re unlikely to see snow, but it most definitely will be cold, wet, and pretty miserable. You may well be the only tourist in the entire county, but it wouldn’t be our choice to road trip Cornwall in winter! The map is ideal to keep as a memory of your visit to Newquay as it is a beautifully artistic map in a colourful design, drawn with eye-catching imagery and containing lots of interesting facts about Newquay.

If you fancy a late-afternoon dip as the sun starts to descend, head for Porthmeor Cove, Veor Cove, or Porthzennor Cove. If you prefer to stay dry, stop in at Rosemergy Farmhouse for a delicious Cornish cream tea – just make sure to spread the jam first, followed by the cream! St Ives Since August 2020, the A30 team have been conducting archaeology investigations to record, report and preserve the archaeological findings along the A30 Chiverton to Carland Cross scheme.We also completed our roadworks between Chybucca and Chiverton. This meant that we were able to realign the A30 through the Four Burrows and Chiverton junction area at the beginning of December. Pictorial depiction’s of castles, ships and sea monsters feature on this map which verges on the fanciful in its details, the naval battle in the top left is simply an embellishment.

Protect the environment, minimising impacts and where possible delivering enhancements to the environment Compared to the 5kg Carbon Dioxide equivalent (CO2e) per tonne carbon emission of virgin aggregate, the locally imported material is around 2kg CO2e per tonne, representing a reduction of around 3kg CO2e per tonne of aggregate used.

We want to be part of our local community and to play a full and active part. Our community relations team engage with local schools, colleges and other educational establishments. We also engage with local community groups and anyone who has an interest in the project should get in touch with us.
