Lynton, Lynmouth and the Valley of the Rocks

This was a quick break earlier in the year. I think it was Easter. What I cannot possibly convey with these photos is how horrendously cold it was. We were all miserable and could not wait to leave, but did at least manage to enjoy some scenery.

Feeding the wild horses.

We came across this bridge. We were in a large camper so I had some doubts.

Well founded doubts. No chance the camper would go over this. Not even sure I would like going over it in a car to be honest.

I wandered across to the little pub/post office/village shop and asked if we could go through the ford safely. On the walk back thought you could better see how unlikely the bridge was.

Welcome to quintessential Britain.

A random photo but I was quite attracted to the light and shadow in the scene. I have failed to capture it fully but you get the idea.

This strange looking object represents the very latest in Devonshire high speed rail. Its over a hundred years old and seemingly works with water.

And off it goes. Whooosh though rumble rumble is a little more accurate.

Here you can see the two carriages passing each other. I have to say it is a bloody amazing invention.

The view from the top of the Valley of the Rocks. Quite a stunning view.

Same as before but other direction. Again I still have work to do if I am ever going to capture the view faithfully.
