There's something nice about old, solid buildings with a history. So it was nice to pop into the church at Grade as our footpath went alongside it. Access to the church is by footpath only - I wonder who has walked these routes in the past. There is no electricity, so services are held by candlelight and gas light. Sadly, Storm Goretti had left its mark on the roof, but it could have been worse. The devastation to some of the woodlands near Praa Sands is remarkable. The church (St Grada and Holy Cross) is Grade 1 listed and has a mediaeval tower ...for more information click here. Then on our return to Lizard Point we came to St Wynwallow's Church - the most southerly church in the UK; founded in 600AD.

| I love the way the two stone crosses barely stand out against the wall of the church, camouflaged by lichens. |
