265 m Contour Ring, Kennick Reservoir
Cormorant’s Bridge
Every time I walk along the public bridleway past this private anglers’ bridge, there seems to be a cormorant perched on it. A cormorant is a type of water bird that likes these environments. This north end of Kennick Reservoir is particularly peaceful and sees little traffic. MP
I have, therefore, named this Cormorant’s Bridge!
Old Limekiln, Beacon Plantation
This was a splendid find simply just using Side by Side where I first found out about it. Having failed to find a shaft in Laployd Plantation, I wasn’t confident but we left the bridleway anyway, battling through conifers to soon see this interesting limekiln, in situ. (MP)
Since that visit, the immediate area was felled.
Old Shaft, Laployd Plantation, No.1 (Not Located)
Notes: Shown on Side by Side as an old shaft, I searched the area that is now covered in conifers but could not locate any evidence. Another one is nearby to the west that I am yet to investigate.
