Loolecondera is famous as the first tea plantation in Ceylon.

It's still a going concern.

The highway runs through the plantings.

Nationalized some years ago, the plantation is run by a parastatal.

The plantation's own roads are very well made.

About as tidy as it comes.

Squint, and it might almost be a golf course.

Another view.

Taylor's Seat: a bench for contemplation.

The view looks over the Gurugal Oya valley.

What's left of Taylor's very modest bungalow.
