A very old drystone wall believed to have been built by Cornish miners who mined and worked on our peninsula in the nineteenth century.
The wall is a few hundred feet long and covered in Ivy and Pennywort. The Pennywort are round shaped like pennies.
Years ago our ancestors had medicinal uses for many herbs and plants. Pennywort was used to treat inflammation and I have read of Pennywort soup being used to treat bee stings.
They really were clever and resourceful our ancestors.
I often walk past this wall on my walks. I walked four miles yesterday and eight today.
I have really got back into walking again. Apart from wearing out shoe leather. Walking is free and gets you fit.
