This a fantastic place that Christopher found quite by accident last year.
Such a beautiful valley so close to Falmouth less than 10 mins away.
Full of the most glorious woodland with streams, many waterfalls and wonderful spring flowers. Hard to imagine it in its heyday full of the industrial activity of the Kennall Valley Gunpowder Mills. All the streams & leats were to power a multitude of watermills (the ruins are still there) the mines of Cornwall were dependent on this product.

It is now a Cornish Wildlife Reserve, we had a marvelous family sunday afternoon ramble here. Although the rush and commotion of falling water is very loud the atmosphere is full of tranquil peace and delight.
