Walk to Rocksavage. Stroll through the quiet streets to the ruins of this once-grand Elizabethan mansion. Arrive with enough time to explore the grounds and find a good vantage point as the afternoon light begins to fade.

Watch the sunset. As the sun dips toward the SW, the stone walls of Rocksavage catch the final golden hues. Stay for a moment to let the history and the light settle in.
