On leaving the little village of Mount Stewart, we went down the gravel road and five minutes out of town found an interesting farm entrance. It was in the shape of an arch. made of stone. Very tall and thin, but very unique, we'd not seen any other farm entrance like this in the whole country. We wondered if it signaled a wild game lodge or something other than a creative farmer? There were no signs so we left thinking it must have been a farm but none the wiser.
After that we were back out in the wilds and twisty gravel roads which essentially followed a river. One of the things we saw appearing more and more was twisted rock formations in the cliffs from ancient upheavals.
