Millstone seat. Ernesettle, Plymouth.

Adjacent to this seat once stood what I seem to remember was a ruined Elizabethan structure, possibly a barn. Certainly in the '50's when it was restored and put into use as a library it was known as 'Ernesettle Barn'. Close by stand two gateways also featured on this web site.

Budshead Wood, Plymouth.

Recognised as dating from the Middle Ages this is a mixed woodland of ash and beech and containing hornbeam indicating later planting. Contains a varied habitat in its relatively small area.
