In the wood near Illogan there is a little stream. The ground is not level. Here and there can be found a waterfall among tangled tree roots. Were they tin-streaming places in time gone by? The stream bends - it is not straight. Sometimes it crosses the path - we got wet feet! The path has to cross the stream - so there is a new wooden bridge. There are four big stones in the way. What are they? They were a Cornish stile - to stop straying cattle. Now the path is wide and there are no cattle. In the distance I saw a very big waterfall - water was pouring out of a big pipe. Is that the very same stream?
