All tied up!

Just a about 75 meters from our holiday rental was this private staith. This would originally have been a landing spot for the local windmill, (once at our lodgings here), bringing corn and taking away flour but like many other such places, somebodies private domain now. We were informed that we could freely roam around here but quickly spotted the un-welcome signs.

PS, A "staith" is a structure, or a place, used for loading and unloading cargo, especially coal, from ships or other vessels. Historically, it was an elevated platform or staging, often built on a riverbank, that allowed for the transfer of materials from railway cars or other transport directly into ships. The word has also been used more generally to refer to a riverbank or a landing stage.

Have a great day.
