Boscastle: Dry-Stone Walls


Couldn't help but be impressed by the dry-stone walls that I passed walking down from St. Juliot to Boscastle.

In Ireland, a friend showed me a Cornish dry-stone wall similar to the one above on a small island off the Cork coast.

I marvel at the structure of Cornish dry-stone walls, as they look far more difficult to put together than the 'more conventional' ones that my friend and I put up in a few rural areas of Lancashire many years ago.
