Parkmill,
Ilston, Pennard & Southgate
|
|
Most people today think of the area of Southgate as "Pennard"
and indeed the names have become almost interchangeable. Pennard church,
in fact, stands alone on the Western edge of Kittle, just up the road
from Parkmill. Despite the confusion with names, this area is very popular
with walkers. The views from Pennard Castle and the area around Three
Cliffs are stunning. More information and photos of this area can be
found on the Pennard
Burrows and Three
Cliffs links.
Parkmill is a very wooded area, set in bottom of a valley and is home
to the Heritage Centre, which is well worth a look around.
You would be unlikely to visit Ilston as a matter of course, unless
you happened to be staying there or in the nearby Lunnon. It is a quiet,
beautiful little hamlet set in the valley above Parkmill, with a stream
meandering through the village and past the church - you really could
be transported back in time. The former quarry is now a nature reserve.
