West Williamston/Carew

This time, although we began our walk at our favourite Carew Castle, the footpath took us across fields and down country lanes and through quite a bid of mud!

The first of several stone stiles that we came across.

It was so wonderful to be walking in the warm sunshine instead of in the mist and rain that we have had recently.
~
Spring was definitely springing with loads of these lovely catkins appearing everywhere.
~
I just wanted to photograph these interesting tree roots!

Just the thing to help you get you back on your horse!

After going through the village of Carew Newton we turned right and followed the footpath through a Very Muddy Field and finally came out near the quarries, going past this lorry graveyard on the way.
~
Although we knew the Carew Quarries were in the vicinity, we were astonished to have our footpath go directly past the open castings. Everyone was away for the weekend but it was still quite an arresting site to see all these large vehicles awaiting their work beginning again on Monday.

A beatiful quarry pool, presumably coloured by minerals in the water.

Ending our walk on the far side of the Carew Cricket field we walked across the 17th Century bridge to the Carew Inn for a very welcome lunch.

Hope you had a sunny Saturday too. Ann x
