Brandy Head

[mikeemagnus]

Looking at the rain outside, today, its difficult to believe that the weather was so beautiful yesterday. We went for a walk along the south coast, not far east from where we live in Devon, SW England.



Starting at a small seaside town called Budleigh Salterton, we made our way NE in the direction of Sidmouth, and about half way to our watering hole destination, Ladram Bay (see above), we came across a small, rather ugly building which I hope you might find interesting. Its location has been named "Brandy Head": Hopefully, the pics speak for themselves.







These days, thankfully, the area has a rather more peaceful and lazy purpose



Cheers

Mike

Lovely day for it Mike & a bit of fascinating history to boot.
Last time I was in Sidmouth I was on the seafront marshalling the Tour of Britain cycle race, few years ago now.

You would never guess that activities like that went on in such a 'Beauty Spot'. Thank you for sharing this with us, Mike.

Great story Mike & a beautiful part of the English Coast.

beautiful part of the English Coast

You're right Baz - it is great and we feel very lucky to live here There are places like Brandy Head dotted here and there all around the coast. But not many I have seen that are related to aircraft. Cheers Mike
