Plymouth Preserves
Historical Plymouth is, as you would guess from your history classes, on the water (Cape Cod Bay). We have visited these preserves in Plymouth:
Center Hill Preserve
The Center Hill Preserve is a large preserve with two sections, one on each side of Center Hill Road. On one side (west) are a woods and abandoned cranberry bog. Despite what the write-up linked to above says, we did not feel the trails were particularly well marked. The walk goes through the woods and around the bog.
We don't have a picture of this, but a house near the entrance has a very tall wind turbine. Seems like an interesting way to provide yourself some power, but it was surprisingly noisy!
The other, smaller, side of the preserve goes down to the water and a beach. The exposed hillside shows that the land is basically sand here.
This beach has great colorful stones.
This one was Anne's favorite, with remarkably interesting colors:
