Dist:0.6km<br/>These small fields seem to have been turned into lawns for the adjacent house but originally they would have been cultivated to grow early spring flowers in this mild climate. Flowers such as daffodils, narcissi, violets and lilies of the valley were taken into Penzance and sent by train to Paddington, destined for Covent Garden market.
