Hartland Quay in Cornwall is a wildly beautiful bay and offers an ancient quay, some of the most spectacular geology in Northern Europe, the Shipwreck and Smuggling Museum, the Hartland Quay Hotel and Wreckers Retreat Bar, wonderful sunsets and a beautiful sandy beach.
Well, what a lovely day, my friends! So nice that we decided to take Lina to Gunwharf Quays with us, and we were able to sit outside the Liquorist (as you can see here) for lunch in the sun!
JJ is lucky enough to work in an office just around the corner from here (Aspex Gallery)!

Caithness is grey, fairly flat, empty and featureless. Grey slate buildings, stone walls and dykes. And heavy leaden grey skies and seas too around it. But I loved it for its space and freedom. I didn't yearn for the bright lights and colour of the cities, but inevitably made my journey there when I left home. I didn't like it.
And I still don't like city life. I can't see the beauty and attraction of places like Salford Quays. it may have lots of coloured lights, , yet I see more beauty in the grey slate quarries of North Wales which I love. Perhaps my eyes formed differently so that I could see the imperceptible difference between shades of grey, and shapes and form in the colourless landscape, and subtle adjustments of light. I went to Salford Quays looking for contrast, for a change, to stretch my brain to think more broadly about the environment and landscape around us. But I didn't like it. And nor did Darcy either.
Nope, we turned round sooner than planned and decided our next outing would be back out in the wilds, where we can breathe and run freely, far from the madding crowds. And admire the beauty of grey.
For those of you who watched Countryfile last Sunday you may recall an item about the Iron Age Fort at Roundwood Quay near Trelissick in Cornwall . I have stayed a number of times in The Engine House N.T. holiday cottage at Trelissick and on one occasion took the walk to Roundwood Quay . So here are a few shots , it is not easy to discern the fort if you are not an expert but here are a number of shots I hope in the right direction . The last shot in the group is taken across the water of Lamouth Creek looking at Roundwood Quay with the fort hidden in the trees behind .
The hillfort, also called promontory fort, is an impressive prehistoric survival. It dates to the Iron Age and is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. What makes it unique is that it consists of a double enclosure, rather than a single one. Therefore, the woodland around the monument is carefully managed to protect it.
Because the monument is quite sizeable and situated amidst trees, it is not easy to take in. To get a sense of the extent, I like walking around both enclosures. I try to imagine what it must have looked like when Iron Age people had their camp here and looked at the same view.
Down at the waterfront you find remnants of the historic quay, which are even more visible from across the creeks. The 18th-century structure is grade II listed. Most likely it was first used for copper smelting and the quay does have an industrial feel. During the ownership of Ralph Allen Daniel (1813-1823) the quay was restored and given new life.
The new life turned into many lives, as the quayside had a lime house, a Malthouse, a sawpit for shipbuilding and a coal yard over time. All of these fit with the industrial character, which is why I find the more remarkable uses of the quayside so striking. Once there was a tea garden and a boat hiring business. But most extraordinarily, Daniel built an ornamental cottage which is said to have included a temporary ballroom. There cannot be many estates that once had a purpose-built space for dancing on the quayside. It really shows why Trelissick is seen as such a dynamic estate.

If you ever visit Mudeford Quay you will find so many starlings there. It is a place where people go crabbing and fishing from the quay and the starlings have overtaken the gulls in their attempts to scavenge food

Tonight I had a few minutes free to drop over to Kilmore Quay County Wexford. I always love to visit this beautiful location.
First trip to Hartland Quay, North Devon - what a stunning piece of coastline that deserves a return visit

When the original London bridge was demolished in 1831, flagstones from the bridge were used to build this quay, which was completed in the following year. It was constructed by the governors of Guy's hospital, who owned land on the parish. A 1km canal was cut in Landermere creek to enable vessels to reach the head of the creak, where the quay was located. The quay was used mainly to send agricultural produce from Essex into London. It ceased to be used in the mid- 1920s.
This the defensive/harbour wall of Berwick-upon-Tweed, a beautiful place that has changed hands many times over the years, currently in England's possession.
The peaceful scene early morning while most other folks are still tucked up under the duvet !! The quay at Blakeney is a wonderful spot for clearing the mind and getting the odd photo or two before a nice breakfast.
Got lots of the scene on the left but was able to get down the launch ramp and get views both ways so did a panorama shot on the iPhone all the way round, so makes it unusual.
really like salford quays,taken with a 35mm nikon lens.happy with this large.hope every one is well.
Boat Quay is a historical quay in Singapore which is situated upstream from the mouth of the Singapore River on its southern bank. It spans from the shophouses near UOB Plaza, stretching along one bank of the Singapore River, all the way till Elgin Bridge.
It was the busiest part of the old Port of Singapore, handling three-quarters of all shipping business during the 1860s. Because the south of the river here resembles the belly of a carp, which according to Chinese belief is where wealth and prosperity lay, many shophouses were built, crowded into the area.
Though serving aquatic trade is no longer Boat Quay's primary role, the shophouses on it have been carefully conserved and now house various bars, pubs and restaurants. Therefore, Boat Quay's social-economic role in the city has shifted away from that of trade and maritime commerce, and now leans towards more of a role accommodated for tourism and aesthetics for the commercial zone of which encloses the Singapore River. It is the soft front to the cosmopolitan banking and financial sectors lying immediately behind it.
Boat Quay is also the name of the road along the quay, which has since been converted into a pedestrian mall.
The City Quay area of Dundee has gone through a lot of changes in recent years with the redevelopment of office buildings, residential and leisure and there is still plenty more to happen and on calm night the reflections can be perfect
