South Devon and south Cornwall, with a full description of Dartmoor and the Isles of Scilly . in the churchyard. From the top of Castle-an-Dinas it is a short mile, south-westward, to Chysauster, where a little above the farm are theremains of a considerable British village, consisting of hut circlesor ovals. There is also, a short distance from these, an old stonearch, nearly hidden by gorse and brambles and called the GiantsCavern. Permission to view the remains should be obtained fromthe farmer who occupies the land. Our outward route is rejoined by road 1J m. south-east, atBadgers Cross, but the pedestrian may with no increase ofdistance cross the valley and hill to the west of Chysauster, andreturn to Penzance by the Zennor road via New Mill and Trevaylor(or Treyailer). To include Mulfra Quoit {p. 282) would increasethe total round to a long 12 miles. To Madron Church, 2£ m.; Lanyon Quoit, 4£ m.; Nine Maidens,6 m.; Mulfra Quoit, 7 m.; Penzance, 12 m. Beyond Madron Church there is little on this round to interestthe traveller who is not an antiquary. By an extra mile or. MADRON 281 thereabout the antiquities, Madron Well (Baptistery), Men-an-iol,and Men Scryfes can be included. We start either by Causewayhead (the street north from theGreen Market) or from the Western Hotel up Clarence two streets converge at the Cattle Market, and still proceedingin the same general direction, by St. Clare Street, we ascend pastthe Recreation Ground (right), and then descend past the Ceme-tery, with Madron Church conspicuous on the opposite hill. Justbelow the Cemetery Lodge (1 m. from the Esplanade) the roadforks, and we proceed to the left through the hamlet of Heamoor,which has a chapel closely identified with John Wesley, the rockon which he preached in the hamlet having been built into inscription records the fact. As we ascend towards Madron, the footpath runs inside theright-hand hedge, and looking back we get a peep of the sea andSt. Michaels Mount. T
