Today, I ventured to Luxulyan Valley, after a light lunch in Luxulyan village, where, if my memory serves me well, Hamish Miller followed the path of the Mary line. The lanes to the valley are VERY narrow and the car park is not large.
The valley and woods are absolutely beautiful, however you can feel how the beauty had been abused when you see the remains of the industrial revolution.
Thankfully, now, peace and harmony have returned. I didn’t complete the circular walk, but decided to walk along the lower section first which takes you below the viaduct/aquaduct. A friendly dog walker told me that the viaduct used to carry water which was used to propel the trams, full of granite, along to Par.
The base of the viaduct crosses over the river and I could feel the female energy and the water full of sprites.
The lady also directed me to the upper walk which would take me to the viaduct, which you can walk across. Firstly, you have to cross a wooden bridge which spans one of the leats.
And then some steps
And then into the woods which were so peaceful.
Once out of the woods, you are back to the remains of the industrial revolution.
But the view was stunning, including a birds eye view of the Newquay branch line which stops at Luxulyan station.
On my journey back, I was drawn to sit on a beautiful mossy granite stone, which stood next to a tree with a fairy portal. I kicked off my shoes and sat barefoot on the stone to meditate in the peacefulness of the woods. I have to say, I have never been so grounded in all my life. My feet were on fire and buzzing. Was that due to the electrical storms we had experienced the night before, I wonder?
Keep fairies real I say! Anyway, what a beautiful end to a beautiful walk.
But the afternoon adventure hadn’t finished. It took a bit of finding, but as we left the valley, we discovered the Acorn Camping and Glamping site which is home to the Hive cafe. (you have to drive past it to the top of the road, do a U turn and then back track to get into the entrance). However, the Cornish Cream Tea was worth the effort!
Love and hugs.
