One of this country's better known Heritage (aka ruins) sites: Picture dates from 2014 - uploaded to my AP Flickr folder August 2020 - not sure if that predates this forum or not, we've been going a while now - been shown before anyhow. Fountains Abbey  IMG_0017.jpg by Pete, on Flickr |

A more modern ruin, from the local village of Jaywick (which is highly delipidated even where it's not in ruins)  |

Ruined but not conventional ruins. Scuttled [ presumably ] barges at the mouth of Walton Channel seen from Stone Marsh. Google maps labels the area as near to the site of Hamford D-Day Mulberry Harbour so perhaps they were sunk back then. The satellite picture used on Google maps is quite interesting. maps.app.goo.gl/ekrFZyDFyDCpEw2x5 BV9R0049.jpg by Pete, on Flickr |

This was as bleak a place as you can get. Basically a keep. Dolwyddelan Castle. Photo 2007 but seems I added to AP folder in June 2023 so it has been seen before but why I don't remember. I reedited it just now.  IMG_0017.jpg by Pete, on Flickr |

Our mooring was only 2.5km from the wrecks & all routes out went via stone point. I don't think they were even there ~10 years ago when we walked out to stone point, but we were caught by a squall on that occasion so might have missed them. I think the review on Google maps by local guide Andrew Pearson is far more likely to be correct he says 'These are not ex Mulberry Harbours but concrete ex-Thames lighters repurposed as sea defences.' The shape of the Mulberry harbour sections is actually different with much squarer ends. |

Somehow I don't think this is step 1 in a demonstration of how to make coleslaw.  BV9R0478.jpg by Pete, on Flickr |
