Where are you on the transport network?

Crossing the River Parrett in Bridgwater. The Parrett emerges into the Bristol Channel and, despite being 10 miles from the coast, Bridgwater was a significant trading port from the 11th to the 19th century. It was killed off by the railways and the last commercial ship docked in 1907.

The heavy silting on the banks comes from downstream not upstream

Devils Bridge over the Devils Couldon. 11th Century then 1700 then Victorian.

Had great food sitting overlooking the bridge. Great chocolate shop also. Bloody lovely.

That bridge combo looks like it was conceieved by Terry Pratchett...

Yeah, don't want to do all the local hotspots in one day.

How long have you allocated yourselves for that bleakest of shite outposts? If you're really bored Thurso is god for a 30 minute diversion...

 

[hash tag]

We are in castletown for 2 nights...a couple of minutes from Thurso. The area, helped by weather is gorgeous. The food, the hotel is not so.

Duncansby Head? The actual NE'erly point that John O' Groats falsely takes all the credit for, and bleaker than Dunnet Head
