Three Ancient Temples within Walking Distance of Pilimatalawa.  The walk took us across countryside with many paddy fields.

Situated on a rocky outcrop Gadaladeniya Temple is made only of stone.  It is reached by a steps cut into the rock. Inside is an ancient statue of the Buddha.  To the right, unseen, is a Hindu annex.
High up on a hill is the Lankatilake temple with its dagoba - shown above. Embekka Devale has carved wooden columns, these lions and pictures of Hindu gods inside a Hindu shrine.
