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.
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.
