Despite spending a wonderful morning on this amazing beach, it was overshadowed by the news that a company is set to dig it up and develop a massive opencast mine! What a tragedy that would be to the locals, wildlife and natural scenery. Find out more here and help campaign against it by signing the objection letter. There won't be many places like this left if these things are allowed go ahead. :(

...we discovered the beautiful gardens of Wallington House. We got their late afternoon just as it entered 'the golden hour' of light and the sun really worked it's magic on the place. Stunning!
