Another view from the archives, this time of the Somerset Coast of the Severn Estuary taken from Poets Walk on Wain’s Hill in Clevedon. Looking south west along the coast Middle Hope and Sand Point are visible with Steep Holm in sight out in the Bristol Channel.
On the top of Wain’s Hill, just above the position where I took the photos, is a Second World War pill-box/bunker which was ideally placed to observe the comings and goings in the Severn Estuary.
Just to the south of the hill are the mud flats where the two rivers known as the Blind Yeo and the Land Yeo flow into the estuary. The photos were taken on the 22 September 2011 as the horizon was becoming a little hazy.
The view to the south west along the Somerset Coast from Wain's Hill, Clevedon. Steep Holm is just visible in the haze. Middle Hope and Sand Point are in the middle of the horizon. |
