A Coastal Viewpoint


With a visit to a National Trust property,
lead to a wonderful view of  some of Devon's county coastline!


Coleton Fishache,
house & gardens,
 the walk down the steep incline
led to advantageous views of the coast.


Following a walk along part of the coastal path,
it transpired into some wonderful views,
 just wish there had been longer to view some more,
another time perhaps.

Hallloween



Resting places of a Grave Yard looking out to sea,
views taken on recent coastal walks of the North Devon coast.
Remote & distance enough from the village of Morte,
I'm sure it will be spooky enough on a dark Halloween night....



The huge gates to Morte Point,
 & the village church,
 also reflects sinister images.


Mencing rock formations add to the aptmosphere of  a dark spooky night.



Happy Halloween

Lets hope there isn't too many creepy, scary moments for the vulnerable & elderly,
 with children or teenagers at their doors in the darkness of night!

In Ruins. . . .



The ruins of Oakhampton Castle, Devon. . . .


I'm quite sure,
 this would have been quite a magnificiant building,
 when it was in its former glory. . . .


Naturally,
such a imposing statment was built on a hill. . . .




Wild flowers grow in amongst the structures crevices. . . .


From the highest point of the castle,
 wonderful views overlooked the town of Oakhampton together with
 the surrounding countryside,
which it had once tried to protect.
