@Kernow_Girl Amazing. As soon as I uploaded the episode I was immediately informed by my parents that I’d pronounced it wrong, and they had in fact had their wedding reception there. No spoilers, but it may be cropping up in an upcoming episode too

[The Piskie Trap @thepiskietrap]

Calling any West Cornwall folk for some advice on pronunciation. Doing a bit of research on Kenegie Manor at Gulval. Should I be saying 'KENegie' or 'kenEGGy'?

[The Piskie Trap @thepiskietrap]

Happy St Piran’s day folks!

In the middle of some research and came across this reference to my own village. Now I can't help but wonder who this could have been.

[The Piskie Trap @thepiskietrap]

@ccreweread Thanks for your message. There's lots of different legends and origin stories/theories surrounding the piskies. I highly recommend checking out https://t.co/8CSFhxA2qf and Enys Tregarthen's 'North Cornwall Fairies and Legends'. Hope that helps. K

Little wander to the Holy Well at St Cleer

[The Piskie Trap @thepiskietrap]

@therealGavin1 Nice. I'll have to give this place a visit too

[The Piskie Trap @thepiskietrap]

Took a little wander yesterday to Starabridge, where there's a fine example of a Medieval Clapper Bridge across the river Lynher.
