Swallows are of interest in Cornwall for many reasons. They were significant to sailors - and many Cornishmen always went to sea. In addition, the Arundell family came into Cornwall in the twelfth century, with the Norman Conquest. The name comes from the French word "hirondelle", meaning swallow. There are "martlets", with forked tails, on their badge or coat of arms. In addition, swallows give their name to Bodmin Moor's highest hill - Brown Willy, the Hill of Swallows. Look for them in the summer - you could see them. You could see a sheep or a pony too, but you probably won't see the Beast of Bodmin Moor! Or did the Arundell family lay claim to the hill? Perhaps there were never any swallows at all!
