Hello,
We've had to remove the Google maps due to a technical problem with the scripts on the page. The Yahoo maps are very similar, sorry for any inconvenience caused. You can still link to a Google map using one of the coloured 'External Links' buttons.

I can no longer see Google Maps (which I could a few months back - before I joined). All I see is a blank area.
I can switch to Yahoo Maps just fine.
I use Firefox 2.0.0.15

Thanks
JRB

There is still a pool of water and some shaped stones around the well. A young Ash tree grows out of the remains of the building. Apparently the well was actually on the main road from Mawgan to St. Martin, but this route was changed in recent history. It is still a special place, quiet and surrounded by ancient woodland.
