Valley of the Rocks bench

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.

Ah, it is always nice to see other people here who have visited the same spot. Yes, we also so the goats and they were making a nice protest against the motorist by blocking the road. I even saw a car turn back :)
