This is perhaps one of our favourite places on the coast and takes just over an hour to get there from home. There’s a car park on the left just before you cross the bridge that links the mainland with the island. Theres a nice pub there with a good view across Langstone Harbour and the bridge.
You can see from the other side where the old bridge used to be. We’ll explore that another time because it’s a now defunct railway line, long since it was dismantled to become a pathway that leads you to the other side of the island.
Formerly Langstone Mill and now either a private home or perhaps a holiday home. It’s gorgeous but access to the driveway looks interesting. You need to drive along the beach to get to it, fine when the tides out, not so when it’s in!
There’s a lovely millpond full of freshwater and wildfowl If you look carefully further into the pond, at the back there is an Egret colony. Didn’t have the right lens with me for them but there were several Egrets there.
This Swan made for a really cool photo.
A view towards the tiny beach with the second pub in the area that looked really nice too. The benches at the front were very inviting.
Minimalist scene, the blues and a perfect balance of light.
Reds and blues. Abstraction are a favourite of mine and playing with certain palettes of colour.
World Cup flags around one of the pub benches.
