Boconnoc is a large estate which today specialises in opening for events ranging from private weddings to steam fairs, along with classical concerts, yoga retreats and garden open days. There has been house on the site since 1086 and the current mansion built in the 18th century, is set in extensive parkland with a lake, sheep (of course!) and deer, as well as woodlands and an old sawmill.
There are a few buds which are the colour of this yarn, but not many flowers! So again we have chosen to go for sculpture, with the Tremenheere Sculpture Gallery and Garden, which is set in a valley overlooking St. Michael’s Mount near Penzance.
Cornwall is a rocky, stony place and of course many people create beauutiful rockery gardens, emulating the flowered cliffs and river valleys or the heathered moors. So for the natural simple undyed base yarn, we decided to seek a stone rather than a flower, and it was obvious that we needed to go to the Barbara Hepworth Sculpture Garden at St. Ives.
