Start Point Lighthouse fence

Start Point Lighthouse fence
The walk up to Start Point Lighthouse is one of the best coastal walks in South Devon, along the South West Coast Path. The dramatic cliffs and stunning coastal landscape is breath-taking. Just below here, we saw seals playing.

I wish you all, a great weekend, Herb

Lovely perspective with just a glimpse of the lighthouse in the distance. It must be a beautiful walk all along the coastline and seeing the seals must have been a bonus. HFF and have a good weekend Herb

A grand scene.. Herb'... seems a most enjoyable pathway - looks like a 'knife edge' to reach the lighthouse... but no doubt an easier route was out of view.
Have a ''HFF'' and a good weekend.. keep well ...
Cheers from Dave.

Herb Riddle club has replied to David G Johnson club
Good to see you Dave. The walk was easier than it looks here to the lighthouse as you surmised. This path went to the lighthouse road for an easy trek. Glad you enjoyed this.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Roger (Grisly) club
Thanks Roger. As you say, a great coastline around the Salcombe area here but the roads need nerves of steel to drive on. We accidentally got here in the school holiday time but apart from the busy car-parks found it quieter than expected. Well worth a visit to.

Very nicely composed Herb. I love the wild look to this place and the unkempt fence! I also like the tantalising view of the lighthouse in the distance..........but I guess you probably got a shot or two of it for future posts!

HFF to you............I hope you have a lovely weekend.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Keith Burton club
Great t see you again Keith. Yes, a full week in Devon has armed me with just a few new snaps of this area and so this is just a pre-view as I have yet to finish my last holiday in Scotland yet. (nearly there though!)

HFF to you too. Have a great weekend. Herb

Herb Riddle club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
You certainly live in a great part of the country Rosa. We loved this area but was only here for a week. Thankfully it was cooler here than the rest of the country as we explored its coast. Yes, the seals were a delight to witness. I caught them on my DSLR too, so might post one here for you.

It looks as if the fence does not want you to go on. Those two unfenced poles are so close together! If you squeeze through it must be worth it!

Herb Riddle club has replied to Eva Lewitus club
The fence went across our path here, down to the sea but the poles were ample wide enough to go through without any chance of electrocution. I we certainly worth it my friend.

Andy Rodker club has replied to Herb Riddle club
Actually I just remembered I do know the area a little, Herb.
We stayed for a wonderful weekend in Southpool in 1981 and explored a bit but I wasn't taking photos then! I also visited clients in the South Hams district. A tiny village, I forget the name. I was invited to stay the weekend. Very pretty but the narrow lanes, high walls and very narrow wooded valleys seemed a touch claustrophobic. I prefer the open expanse of the moors and the clifftops!

Hi Herb

I really like this view of the lighthouse..

Great composition

Curious as to the electric cable though. Surely they can't have an electric fence where the public are likely to touch it....

Best Wishes, (a little late) HFF, and a good weekend
Peter
4 years ago.
Herb Riddle club has replied to Peter_Private_Box club
Glad you liked this Peter. I am surprised at you not knowing that farmers can and do put up mainly temporary electric fences all the time, regardless of how close they are to public footpaths and ways. They are made safe at path crossing points like this but normally only a warning notice every now and again stops us from getting a 'bite'. Once bitten -never forgotten, even at this low voltage, and so not really much chance of shocks for the unwary visitors here. I think were the main things to keep away here.

Belated HFF, enjoy the weekend too. Herb

Hi Susanne. You are right, It is getting like that on many of our wilder paths. Most of these gateways and stiles were constructed when people where much thinner than they are now. Fortunately my wife and I have no problem with them :)

Hi Füsun, -no need to apologies, I am always happy to see you, no matter when. It was a great walk and I particularly enjoyed my scramble upon the shore rocks capturing low viewpoint sands and the seals.

Good to see you here David. A part of the country, quite aways from most people. However the long drive and scary roads are made up for by the wonderful coast down here in the South Hams of Devon.

Cheers for enjoying this. Herb
