Bonython Plantations

This is typical of much of the vegetation on the Lizard.

Much of the farmland appears to be sitting idly by, but once the silage has been collected there isn't much else to do. Newton Farm can be seen on the far hill.

The first part was easy enough to traverse, but once past the standing water it was just very soft slurry with no indication of its depth. I decided to go a different way. Being a bridleway, I am sure a horse would have managed it with no difficulty.

Heading towards Mullion.

There are some cows at the far end of the field.

Leaving the A3083. The track quality does not continue past the silage bales.

The surface has been lacerated by hooves, making it harder going on foot.

Field with Wind Farm and Goonhilly Earth Station in the background.

A hamlet on Chypons Lane north of Mullion.

These are fields north of Clahar Barton Farm.

This is a remarkably complete Victorian lodge with some good quality details including the glazing and roof structure which are particularly notable. It was built in 1851 and is Grade II listed with English Heritage Building ID: 65169. See details:Link

The telephone box stands outside the former post office, which is now cordoned off and looks like it is about to undergo some development work.

A post office was established at Cury in 1861 and was renamed Cury Cross Lanes twenty years later. It closed on 24 November 2003 but still resembled a post office and shop seven years later: see SW6921 : Cury Cross: Cury Stores and Post Office. On 19 May 2005 a post office service was restored to Cury, on Thursday mornings, by way of the postmaster at nearby Gweek coming here and operating a mobile set-up at a hatch in the village hall. That arrangement continues to this day (see SW6821 : Cury: post office sign at the village hall) and he has also served Helford and St. Martin similarly since September 2011. See SW6921 : Cury: phone box at Cross Lanes for a slightly wider view of the building, including the fences around the site.
