On a drab, dull day I was in the town of St. Austell, Cornwall. Having completed my business I decided a shortish walk was in order so I left the town on the B3274 to head for Menacuddle Gardens, photo as below. below.
I walked under a viaduct ...
...and passed by a cottage which was once a TollGate.
A large building to the left indicate I was nearly at the gardens.
Finally a sign on a tree for the Menancuddle Well and Gardens. There is also a Gothic Chapel. Car Parking is limited.
I walked downhill, passing over an old stone bridge which, I believe, is said to be over 200 years old.
I was the only person in the gardens - perfect!
The small Gothic chapel was soon in sight, as was the White River, which is coloured by local china clay in the ground
Another view of the chapel & the White River
Nearby is a solid granite chair known as the Druids chair or, sometimes, as King Arthur's seat. It's not very comfortable!
Walking on there is a Danger Sign warning of Deep water. It may not look like water but the water takes on a green colouring this time of year
A picnic table I'm still the only person about.
I'll finish today's post with the waterfall. Thanks for visiting my blog.
