Lovelace Meadow is nestled in a tranquil and secluded location on the border between Cornwall and Devon, situated between Holsworthy and Launceston. This rural haven includes a combination of open land, woodland and a flowing stream providing a blissful backdrop of natural beauty and serenity.

The land, which has a history of agriculture, features an extensive central open meadow area surrounded by mature broadleaved trees on all sides, along with a section of woodland to the south of the meadow. The existing woodland not only enhances the biodiversity of the meadow but also serves as a vital wildlife corridor. Clear deer tracks wind through the woodland and out across the meadow to the substantial stream which forms the northern boundary. The stream is a fantastic feature, with the flowing waters between the bluebell lined banks providing a natural source of water for the meadow. The trees which line the meadow’s edge offer shade at the banks.

The wooded section on the other side of the meadow to the south also has a smaller woodland stream which runs through it. The standing mature trees act as a source of seeds, facilitating the natural regeneration of the land in conjunction with active tree planting. Oak trees have already begun to take root along the meadow's edges. Both the land and its surrounding area already serve as an important sanctuary for wildlife, hosting a variety of species including deer, rabbit and badger. The addition of new woodland to the open land will further expand the diverse habitats already present.

This meadow could be of interest to both those looking into carbon offsetting as well as those considering woodland creation for amenity purposes, thanks to the ample planting opportunities available. Additionally, it boasts excellent amenity value, with the woodland to the south adding visual interest to the landscape. On sunny days, sunlight shimmers through the canopy, casting a dappled light over the woodland floor.

In terms of finding the meadow, head down the access track which runs diagonally across the field from the main gate next to the public highway. Once you leave this field and enter the wooded section, the most southern tip of Lovelace is on your left hand side. From here, follow the access track as it bends around to the left all the way to the end, again with Lovelace on your left hand side for the duration of the track. At the end of the track, a large section of hardstanding in the middle of the meadow signifies the entrance, where a ride stop can also be found. Mature trees border the meadow on all sides giving an intimate sense of privacy. A small stream on your right hand side, just beyond the post and rail demarcates one section of the eastern boundary, which runs down and joins the much larger stream, itself forming the northern boundary. Looking left at the entrance you will see the wooded section, which runs off to the south, with the access track forming the eastern boundary and a combination of an old woodland bank and fencing forming the western boundary.

Lovelace Meadow truly is rural retreat, where one feels at the end of the road and away from the world. With such a variety of features and the potential for extensive new planting, it holds a huge amount of potential, allowing a new steward to transform the landscape by planting trees that harmonise with the existing woodland, further diversifying this already lush landscape.

The purchasers of the meadow will be asked to enter into a covenant to ensure the quiet and peaceful enjoyment of adjoining woodlands and meadows.
