Saint Nectan's Glen is an area of woodland in Trethevy near Tintagel, north Cornwall stretching for around one mile along both banks of the Trevillet River. The Glen's most prominent feature is Saint Nectan's Kieve, a spectacular sixty foot waterfall. It is spectacular and we believe it should be preserved for future generations in it's pristine
state and as it is for sale, we're concerned about the future of this
sacred site, so we have set out to buy to keep it as a sacred place of
pilgrimage for all to enjoy.

This is a special interest group set up for the establishment of a group of trustees, friends and benefactors to collectively buy the sacred site near Tintagel, Cornwell, which was the place where King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table went to be anointed by the monks there before setting out on their Grail journey.

These days it's still a site for modern pilgrims and spiritual seekers alike who are drawn to the Arthurian sacred sites and to the magnificence of Cornish coast and temperate rainforest. St Nectan's Glen has been for sale for about three years. Here's an advertisement for the property:

We are in the process of setting up a collective of investors who will buy into St Nectan's Glen as trustees and we are also be registering it as a non-profit charity organization so that it will be a place of spiritual pilgrimage rather than a profit-making commercial operation, to preserve it's spiritual value and not to taint it with too much
commercialism.

The balancing act though will be for it to make enough money through yearly membership fees and donations so that the Board of Trustees can pay the Insurance Premiums, land taxes and any other on-going expenses as well as fund any maintenance projects in accordance with the local heritage restrictions that may be over the property.

This project was originally set up after a meeting between Tor Webster a local resident from Glastonbury and Eilish De Avalon a pagan priestess on a spiritual pilgrimage from Avalon, Australia, who met at Glastonbury. They discussed uniting on the project to preserve St Nectan's Glen for future generations so that it would also be a
spiritual retreat and a place of worship, as they both have vowed to
be of service to humanity for the Greater Good of All as devotees of
the Old Religion.

Eilish works full time as a healer and priestess performing handfastings, teaching spirituality and has devoted her life to be of service to the Divine and to Humanity. Tor is also a spiritual practitioner, a founder member of the Arimathean Group and a creative film maker. He is a local tour guide in Glastonbury for pilgrims and tourists alike.

His current film The Rainbow Serpent project is also a spiritual pilgrimage, connecting the earth's chakras through a series of visits, rituals and planting crystals from one holy site to the other.

The project firstly aims to set up a Trustee account into which donations can be made. These will be fully tax deductible. The financial records will also be totally transparent so that they will have at least three signatories on the account to purchase the property on behalf of the Trust and also to spend any money on it
whether they be capital works, insurance premiums or other facilities
on the property.

We are calling for expressions of interest from relevant parties who may have experience in applying for Heritage Grants, writing Business Plans for Bank loans and book keeping. You will be directly liasing with Eilish in Australia and Tor in the UK who have founded this project. Positions on the Board will be purely voluntary roles for the
purposes of preserving the funds for the Charity Trust.

There will also be opportunity for all trustees and benefactors to be granted special access privileges to St Nectan's Glen, during off-peak times when the Glen is traditionally closed to the public. At this time the retreat will be made available for family holidays at specially discounted rates for benefactors and arrangements will be
made with the Board of Trustees who can secure a time that can be
exclusively yours for the duration of the visit.

The retreat, the private residence, the tea rooms and the chapel are features of the property and funds will also be set aside for the renovation of the stone hermitage located on the path to the Kieve. Eilish and Tor look forward to working with all of you on this project and if you have any further questions please contact either of us
we'll be happy to let you know about the progress of the Project and
when we make an offer to purchase St Nectan's Glen from the current
owners.
