     After we left the Edens Project, we continued down to a wonderful old B&B. It was an old farm, but no longer. The house was built 900 years ago. You don't get that in the US!

     The night at the Inn was wonderful. Very restful. Managed to actually get up early for a wonderful breakfast of sausage, egg, potatoes, and the like. We did not need lunch after such a breakfast. I then took a number of photos inside and out. Hand hewn law rafters, not even straight, but obviously built to withstand the ages. A really huge hearth in the breakfast area was no longer in use, but was quite interesting. There was even an old mill, long since in disrepair.

Livestock also grazed the area, cattle I believe. Though we did not see any, there was a gate which simply had a sign to keep it locked, but other than just a latch, that was all. Just an honor system to to let the livestock out!

     Not too long ago this was in a remote area, not too long ago you could walk right up among the stones. Not too long ago it was free to get in. However, in my case all the changes were perfect. We simply pulled off the road, paid to get in, walked around the path and I took photos. The whole experience was about 15 minutes long which just so happened to be at the perfect time of day for some spectacular photos, and photos without a lot of people in the background. And no one in among the stones which really helped me get some good shots. We could not have planned things better if we tried.
