Ladock, TRURO, TR2 4PW

This gateway gives access to the driveway through the extensive grounds of Ladock House - this is private land with no public right-of-way.

This road used to be the main route to London from Truro, hence the markings on the milestone. Since the A30 was improved from Fraddon to Carland Cross the Truro traffic now travels that way and Ladock village is now much more peaceful.

Until the improvements to the A30 to the north this was the main road between Truro and Bodmin.

This little lane branches off southwards from the lane which runs to the south of Ladock. It wiggles its way to the village of Probus via various hamlets and farms.

Walking northwards along a back lane in Ladock, this is the end-on view of Image The old corn mill dating from the C17th is now a Guest House - their website https://www.bissickoldmill.co.uk

Ladock Church and School are high on the valley side, the heart of the village is down in the valley bottom and the two are linked by this steep narrow road from which motor vehicles have been thankfully banished to a more boring route. This photograph shows the top of the road just before it disappears into a steep slope between the trees.

First dedicated in 1268 this church underwent its last major restoration in 1864.

This pretty assortment of wild flowers were growing by the side of the main road through Ladock, the B3275. The blue cornflowers are the most prevalent, but amongst them there are red poppies and a white flower which may be a white cosmos, while the purple flower may be another cosmos e.g. Cosmos bipinnatus. Thanks to fellow Geographers for help in identifying the latter two flowers. This collection has almost certainly been intentionally grown here by the scattering of seed in the wayside, especially as the Cosmos species are not native to the UK.
