Tuesday 11th October Noss Mayo

A coastal walk today from Noss Mayo. Back through the village...

...then up a long and winding bridal path where we had this fine view looking back over Noss Mayo and Newton Ferrers.

We came to the coast path where this sign amused me.

We were to follow Revelstoke Carriage Drive back to Noss Mayo. A nine mile drive constructed by Lord Revelstok so that he could enjoy a carriage ride along the coast.  This is the remains of one of the tea houses he had built on the route to entertain his guests.

A fine view of the coast they had too.

David, a fencing contractor was finishing off a fence he had been building for the last week.

Dead tree.

Down through the holiday village at stoke to the Church of St Peter the Poor Fisherman. This little church is just above Church Cove and is now surrounded by a holiday park. It dates back to the 12 Century.  Damaged  by a severe storm in 1840 and deemed unsafe in 1869. A new church was built in Noss Mayo in 1882 and it fell into further disrepair. In the late 1960's a group of local people decided to attempt to save what was left and it is now maintained by the Redundant Churches Fund.



Looking back...

...and forwards.

The carriageway built by Lord Revelstoke.
