Through the Trees

Antony Passage is a hamlet situated beside a tidal section of the River Lynher just south of Saltash, S.E. Cornwall, where Forder Lake adjoins the river.

 

This group of cottages is associated with the mill pond, just off to the right, the stone house in the middle being the Old Mill. Dating back to 1613, with evidence for a mill back to late medieval times, the mill pond is an early example of harnessing the tides to provide power. As the tide goes out and comes in, the water rushes through the narrow channel between the old mill and the stone boundary wall.
