Low

This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

See drop-down box for suggested article edit guidelines:

Be bold - if you know something about Cornwall then put it in! We value your contributions and don't be afraid if your spelling isn't great as there are plenty of spelling and grammar experts on clean-up duty!
Articles on settlements in Cornwall should be written using the standard set of headings approved by the UK geography WikiProject's guideline How to write about settlements.
At WikiProject Cornwall we subscribe to the policies laid down by Wikipedia - particularly civility and consensus building. We are aware that the wording on Cornish entries can sometimes be a contentious topic, especially those concerning geography. You don't have to agree with everything but there is no excuse for rudeness and these things are best solved through consensus building and compromise. For more information see WP:CornwallGuideline.
These pages are not platforms for political discussion. Issues relating to Cornish politics should be restricted to those pages that directly deal with these issues (such as Constitutional status of Cornwall, Cornish nationalism, etc) and should not overflow into other articles.
Most of all have fun editing - that's the reason we all do this, right?!

[Untitled][edit]

The island is normally accessible only by boat but at the neap tides it is just about possible for the journey to be made by foot across the rocky sea floor.

Is it possible to swim? ( 09:54, 13 Nov 2003 (UTC)

From looking at Memory Map OS 1:25k map, its around 680m from the coast (or 850m from Wallace Beach), so youd have to be quite a strong swimmer to make it.

Should it read "at spring tides" instead of neap tides? During a low spring tide there will be less water making it easier to wade.

You are right about the tides. At the spring tide, the tidal range is larger: i.e. the high tides are higher and low tides are lower. I have edited the article to say "low spring tides". --Portnadler 23:03, 15 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I also suggest that we sort out the links to the books that are cited. I will take a look at this soon if nobody else does --Portnadler 23:36, 15 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Citation for Christ Legend[edit]

The page currently shows "citation needed" against the Legend of Christ statement (2nd paragraph). This is stated on the Channel 4 Time Team page that's currently reference [4]. 188.221.46.100 (talk) 09:40, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
