A stream tinkles along.
It would be easy to imagine a few of the little people - fairies and the like - are watching on.
Green branches reach out to touch the passing walker.
Boulders galore, perhaps, they provide places for those little people to hide.
A bright green wall guides the stream for a short distance.
Darker green moss clings to remnants of the once china clay industry. A gentleman I met, a while back, told me how his dog disliked this area and would not pass by without by without a struggle.
There's a steep road to the top of the valley, from where there are views of the greenery and a chimney from the once china clay industry
There's another look at the chimney and a row of houses. In the background is a china clay 'pyramid' cfreated from china clay spoils, but has now been taken over by nature.
That's all for today's post but for more info on Gover Valley see my blog post with 40 photos:
Thanks for visiting my blog ~ Mike.
What a lovely place Mike, the atmosphere there must be pollution free judging by all the Lichen & Moss growing everywhere. I love the little streams, when we used to holiday in the lakes district we used to seek out the small streams and waterfalls.
ReplyDeleteLovely post Mike, take care, David.
Thanks David, it's hard to believe now that this area was used by the china clay industry. A different world now. Waterfalls and small streams are always interesting, especially if there aren't other people about. Good wishes.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures Mike.
ReplyDeleteI remember back in 2016 when I was in Tasmania how The Eden project was thinking of building a similar dome in Hobart, but nothing has come to fruition as of 2024.
Oops!

My bad:-)
That last picture is stunning Mike! You could put that on a post card :) x
