The body of a 45-year-old woman was found in a ditch near Rock in north Cornwall early this morning.

Police said they found a Land Rover Defender at around 14:45 at Exeter St David's Railway Station which had damage "consistent with damage the vehicle they are trying to trace may have sustained".

The car has been taken away for a forensic examination and no arrests have yet been made.

Trevose Head, near Padstow, covers 221.5 acres and is part of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The trust said its ownership would mean the area would be protected and have its habitat and wildlife areas maintained. 

The area, which has been in the same family since about 1900, was put on the market in March and was expected to be sold for up to £4m.

Ian Kemp, from the trust, said: "It really is one of the jewels in the crown of the Cornish coast. We're very happy, very excited and looking forward to it coming into the trust's care."

Cornwall Council has voted to lobby the government to try and help women who are having to wait five years longer than they expected for their state pension. 

A small demonstration, organised by the Women Against State Pension Inequality, was held outside County Hall by campaigners who said due changes were unfair. 

Many women born between April 1951 and 1960 have claimed they were not aware the age was being raised by up to six years so the start of pay-outs would be equalised for men and women by 2020. 

The Department for Work and Pensions said the equalisation of the pension age was announced more than 20 years ago and righted a "longstanding inequality".
