The granite spine of économies Cornwall acts as a watershed from which many rivers and streams flow north and south into the Atlantic and English Channel respectively. The Red River rises east of Troon and flows just six or seven miles, north then west, into the sea between Gwithian and Godrevy...

It is the purpose of this book to describe and evoke something of the distinct, rich history and culture of the valley. The work is divided into seven parts. These bear no relation to

any geographic, social or cultural divisions along the river but rather serve as a structure for realising a further ambition within the work – to reflect on a succession of myths concerning the history of our perception of the landscape which surround us.
