DRONE footage has captured the newly extended path across the Barrowfields in Newquay.

Cornwall Council has extended the walking and cycling path through to Lusty Glaze to improve access.

Urban Green Shoots has been helped by members of Newquay in Bloom and residents to plant newly created beds within the new Space for Nature sites there.

The project has been funded by the UK government through the Shared Prosperity Fund.

A modern monolith sculpture created by artist Robin Sullivan and the community has been unveiled. The Newquay Monolith project aims to create new communal points to showcase the town’s heritage, archaeological past, and contemporary communities.

A spokesperson for Cornwall Council said: “The new surfaced path replaces the uneven and worn section towards Lusty Glaze.

“It means more people can access the Barrowfields, including those with mobility issues, pushchairs and wheelchairs.

“New wildflowers, shrubs and flowers have also been planted in the area as part of the project.”
