Ayr is a town situated on the southwest coast of Scotland. A former royal burgh, today it is the administrative centre of South Ayrshire Council, and the historic county town of Ayrshire. With a population of 46,982, Ayr is the 15th largest settlement in Scotland and second largest town in Ayrshire by population. In 16.9 format therefore a large view may be better, HWW!

Having taken shelter while a winter afternoon storm passed, people continue the stroll along South Esplanade, Burnham on Sea, which sits in Bridgwater Bay, on the Somerset Coast! HFF and great weekend to all!,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, in 16.9 therefor a large view may be rewarding!

Another section of this large mural on the sea wall in Mural Yard, Watchet, on the Somerset Coast! The whole painted wall is 45 meters long and was painted in 2016 by Pat Denis The idea was to present items from the towns rich sea faring history Other segments previously posted Here, Heritage Mural And Here! Off the Wall Sadly on a recent visit, it was clear the the sun has taken its toll and the mural has faded badly, soon only photographs will remain!

Another raid on the archives for a bench or two, This time we are at the Jurassic Coastal town of Seaton, The town looks out across Lyme Bay, East Devon, and the sea front forms a part of the South West Coastal Path! I recommend a large view and wish you all HBM!

A view of Blue Anchor Bay and the Bristol Channel from the esplanade, Note the lone walker, HBM and a good week!

Bridgwater Bay at Burnham On Sea on a warm May evening, the late tide has receded leaving wet sand and water pools. while the lights from the countries shortest pier provide long shadows that illuminate the sea wall and battered fencing, The Victorian style Pier, Built 1914 , 121 feet or 37 meters long. HFF and a great weekend ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Large if you prefer!

Benches along the sea wall and fishing gear surrounds the working harbour at Crail, in Fife. Taken on a misty afternoon in 16.9 format, therefore a large view would be appreciated, HBM.

Evening Sun highlights the huge Sea Wall that helps keep the higher tides in Bridgwater Bay from flooding the town, at Burnham on Sea, The wall is 1 mile (1.61 km) long with a height of 10ft 6 in (3.2 m) and during storm surges waves still overtop the wall, Large view Please

The bench is the main focus however you do need to stand to see the Sunset, The sea wall has to be this high to cope with the vast tidal range, HWW from Burnham on Sea!

Another changeable day on the Somerset Coast, This is Blue Anchor looking East with people taking exercise along the promenade while keeping an eye on the weather! The mile long beach is available to dog walkers all year around and is great for fossil hunting, in fact Blue Anchor and Lilstock is a 742.8-hectare geological Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The height of the seawall gives an indication of the tidal range in the channel. HFF and a nice weekend,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Large view, perhaps.

A pleasant mid-February afternoon at Burnham on Sea on the Somerset coast, The low tide has emptied Bridgwater Bay leaving the sandy 7-mile beaches to the dog walkers and sand castle builders. The image also features Britain's shortest pier, built in 1911 at just 100ft (ca. 30 metres) long. Shot in 16.9 format, so a large view please,,,,,,, HFF and a great weekend to all!

A large slate Sea Wall at Ellenabeich on the Isle of Seil, which is one of the Slate islands and whose products in times past roofed the world, Fairy Foxgloves grow in the shade and in on top of the wall in full sun, for details a large view is recommended,,,,, HWW!

Bridgwater Bay on the South Esplanade at Burnham on Sea, which was a small fishing community that was turned in a seaside resort by the Victorians, Better suited to mono in my opinion, also two notes showing the twin Lighthouse positions HBM and a large view perhaps

Bridgwater Bay and a gap in the Sea Wall allows access to the beach at Burnham on Sea. This wall was built in1988 as replacement to the previous storm damaged structure, The bay has the second-highest tidal range in the world, up to 36 feet (ca. 11 metres) and at very low tide the sea can recede 1.5 miles (2.41 km) , The curved waterway left of image is the mouth of the River Parrett. The lower lighthouse, in the distance, was built in 1832 and is a grade 2 listed structure, HWW and a large view please!

The Sea Wall as the sun sets, Bridgwater Bay at Burnham on Sea, Somerset, The pip shows South Esplanade which is along the top of the wall, A wall of this size is needed because of the huge tidal range which is the second highest in the world, the steps are designed to take the power from waves before they hit the wall which is curved to throw the water back into the sea. HWW Folks

The last fisherman leaves as the tide recedes and the Sun throwws it golden light on the sea walls, now it's mainly just the gulls that remain, The wet steps show the day's tidal range. Bridgwater Bay at Burnham on Sea, Somerset

Benches built into the rather battered sea wall on the Bristol Channel Coast at Watchet, Overlooking the harbour, facing south and sheltered from the prevailing wind, they are sought after seats in the better weather despite the condition, The Bristol Channel has a huge tidal range and is open to Atlantic Storms, so sea defences take a terrible battering during winter months. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_Channel

This was the site of Royal Pier Hotel Weston-super Mare, which was destroyed by fire in 2010 and eventually demolished by the local council, sadly this prime site is still undeveloped to this day. The walkway forms a part of the walk from the derelict Birnbeck around the Marine lake and onto the re-developed Knightstone Pier and harbour. (See location map) Graffiti artists have been busy and actually brightens up a very drab area. HFF and a good weekend, but stay safe
