About three miles from the large market-town of St. Columb Major, in the direction of the coast, is situated¹ the Vale of Mawgan. The village of the same name occupies the lower part of the valley, and includes a few cottages, an old church, a yet older manor-house, and a clear running stream, crossed by a little stone bridge, all nestling close together on a few hundred yards of ground enclosed by some of the most luxuriant wood foliage² in Cornwall. The trees bound each side of the stream, tinging³ it in deep places where it eddies⁴ smoothly⁵, with hues⁶ of lustrous⁷ green; and dipping their lower branches into it, where it ripples⁸ on white pebbles⁹ or glides¹⁰ fast over grey sand. They cluster thickly about the old church-yard, as if to keep the place secret, throwing deep shadows over the graves, and hiding all outer objects from the eye. The small cottage garden and the spacious¹¹ manor-house enjoy their verdant¹² shelter alike; the bye-roads leading in and out of the village, are soon lost to view amid outspread branches; and not even a peep of the land that leads on to the sea in one direction, and back to the town in the other, is to be obtained through the natural screen of leaves above, and mosses
