St Nectan’s Glen

by Ian · Published July 23, 2008 · Updated November 19, 2018

There is some conjecture about their origin. They may date from the Bronze Age or Iron Age period, but are more likely to be the work of a local miller in the eighteenth century.

St Nectan’s Glen, Cretan Labyrinth: by Daniel Parkinson

At the valley head is a 60′ waterfall. Since pre-Christian times the Knieve has been a place of worship and healing.
