Another look at this lone tree and you can see now that it is not so lonely here in this windswept valley. To our left is the castle rock again but this time we see its proximity to the sea. Enjoy full screen

Watch the goat droppings but do enjoy the view looking towards Lynmouth. A lot of seats around here which tells me something about the style of tourist they expect around here, but that suited us fine! We are looking east over Lynmouth Bay towards Foreland Point where we were to explore a few hours later. Enjoy full screen. Have a great day.

Posted here in response to Peter Castells comment on the previous page. to A bit stouter than desired she is standing just under that ramped stone by the cube. Sorry about the lower pixel count on this (it was going to be a PIP only).

A view from just a little higher than the bench I posted the other day (Pip) showing what is known as the Castle Rock. I can certainly see why it is so named. Behind that I see here another castellation which may be part of the Lee Abbey? There seems a constant haze in the deep valley behind the rock, as this channels sea mist up the valley from the sea to our right. I saw people on the rock at one point and so I presume it is not a difficult climb. Enjoy full screen

Another view from this wonderful valley demonstrating the direction of the prevailing wind here. Below and behind the tree we see the flock of wild mountain goats that live here. Enjoy full screen

This capture belies the beauty of this place. The views beyond the trees and behind this hill to the right are breath-taking but that is for another day. ‘The Valley of the Rocks, is a dry valley that runs parallel to the coast in north Devon, England, about 1 kilometre to the west of the village of Lynton. It is a popular tourist destination, noted for its herd of feral goats, and for its landscape and geology.’ Wiki. Enjoy full screen. Have a great day.
