Tamar side valley to St Mellion

View westwards from the river up the small side stream towards St Mellion. Typical of sunken estuaries, this very small stream has a relatively large valley, which is tidal for a mile from here. Strawberry Hill to the right and Hornifast Wood to the left. Ahead is some prime steep south-facing Tamar valley market gardening land - here still active in 1971, but today mostly reverted to scrub and farmland. This rural setting was not so tranquil in the war... http://www.bbc.co.uk/ww2peopleswar/stories/89/a5726289.shtml
