We
have lived here on Cheesewring Farm since 1997 when we moved from the weald of
Kent in the South East of England. On purchasing the farm
we
spent three years renovating the property to a high standard. We
are
family people with three children and eight grandchildren. We are
now, at last, finding time to enjoy our hobby, which is carriage driving. We
have three ponies, two Welsh Section Bs and a Dales pony, all of wich drive single,
pairs or tandem. Ray is also a farrier and runs his own business
and
has a working forge at the farm here where he builds our driving carriages..
We have two dogs - a Westie called Fizz and a Jack Russel called Milly.
We love to walk on the Moors and on the coastal paths. |

| Approached
by a long private drive, set in the middle of 26 acres on the uplands of Bodmin
moor, Cheesewring Farm was built in the mid 1800s as the former quarry
managers residence. This farm extends to 26 acres of land, 20 of which
are grazed by cattle, mainly Galloway and Shorthorn breeds. The unusual
name was taken from the legendary Cheesewring granite rock formation at the top
of Stokes Hill, a few minutes from the rear entrance to the farm. A visit
to the Cheesewring, one of the most popular attractions in Cornwall is not to
be missed, with a fantastic view across the land of Cornwall and a wonderful energy. |

Cheesewring | | | When
we moved here in September 1997, the farm was in a run down condition.
We have created new driveways and a new courtyard laid with flower beds which
are still maturing. That is if the moorland sheep will let them, as they
like to hop over the wall in the winter time when there isn't much grass on the
moor, and have a good munch! We have also completely refurbished Cheesewring
Cottage as this was in a very dilapidated condition. |
