Staarvey Road

A muddy walk with ruins.
 
Tuesday 27th November 2012
 
A few photos from our last walk.  Dorothy likes this walk because of the ruins!
 
The first ruin  was just past a field of cows - one of which Trevor said might be a bull.  So Dorothy and I waded through thick mud behind a hawthorn hedge at the far edge of the field until we reached the remains of the old farmhouse. 
 

Tim took this photo while I was trying to get a close-up of the little alcove in the slate wall which looked like a very small built-in cupboard!  The remains of the horse mill are in the foreground.



The second ruin behind a "Manx hedge" (sod bank and hawthorns).



View across a field of turnips to Peel.



A muddy walk along the railway line.



Some gulls enjoying their own private pool in one of the fields alongside the railway line.  At least someone was benefitting from all the wet weather.



Tim noticed these cows huddled around their hay in a field alongside Brack-a-Broom Lane.  Lower slopes of Slieau Whallian in the background and some impressive mud in the foreground.
