TWW 24th October 2017
Well worth the trek out to Hennock. On a very, very gloopy day to find a new place and some nice, very warm, bright weather. The old drovers road took us out from the pretty village to Chericombe Head. Round and on by Bell Lane to Greatrock Farm. Into the oak and beech woods to find the air shaft and on to the amazing Great Rock itself which was truly Great. A fine place for a cuppa. Down to the trackway to find the launder and adits from the Haematite mine. The tracks still clearly visible where the Haematite was extracted until 1969. Back to admire St. Mary's and on to the Cromwell Arms for lunch where we were pleased to be joined by two of our walking wounded.
