Gover Valley Walk Cornwall

I had a wander along parts of Gover Valley, St.Austell.  The first photo is of a very old cottage,  still in use and under a preservation order.


The next photo is like a different world. I'm not sure how the sky got to that vivid colour. I blame my camera! The viaduct is used by trains from London to Cornwall.


Under the viaduct is a very pleasant garden.

 Next, looking up at the viaduct and two photos of the surroundings follow.





Walking on for a while  I passed  dog kennels.



The path gradually gets  rougher and there are some of the leftovers of the once thriving China Clay Industry. I believe the photo  is of clay ovens.


Warnings about of the dangers of the surrounding area. So advisable to stick to the footpaths

An old sign post.


Further on a Public Footpath sign, which I ignored.


I zig zagged through the fence as I preferred to walk a narrow path.


The path was a bit muddy 


The fields eventually came into view.




The fields led to a  quiet road and eventually to another muddy path.


From here I continued until I reached a high point of Gover Valley


Here we are now looking downwards on the valley. 




Looking at houses at the bottom of the valley.



From here I walked back beyond the cottage, as seen at the  beginning of the post.


Thanks for visiting my blog ~ Mike.
