Porlock Bay, HFF

Exmoor meets the sea from the top of Porlock Toll Road,
The never ending battle to hold back the waves was abandoned in 2001when the sea defences were opened to allow the sea to create a salt marsh here, Bossington beach curves around to the headland and the South Wales coast is in the far distance.

In 16.9 format so a large view is recommended.

A very beautiful landscape and I do not believe that man can win against the force of nature "sea" in the long run...

Thank you Udo, I agree it took regular visits by machinery to maintain the sea defences and they were still breached quite often.
