Last Thursday morning I met up with Jim for an early morning visit to Thatcher Rock in Torquay. We'd been wanting to shoot here for a few weeks and so finally made the decision to pay this spot a visit.
It was a gorgeous morning with a bit of cloud in the sky and we spent a good hour or so getting various shots before making our way home. I waited until the sun had risen enough to cast some light on the rock and I'm pretty happy with this shot.
A small thatched cottage in the woods.
This is at the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum. It gives a wonderful insight as to how our ancestors lived. This building was removed from its original location and transported to the museum, rebuilt and thus saved from being lost.
It is thought that the house was originally built in the 13th century in a small hamlet near by. Records seem to indicate that it was abandoned as far back as the 14th century. One reason of the property being abandoned so early after being built, was that in the mid 1300's the village was almost wiped out due to The Black Death, which forced the country into lockdown for two years. (Thankfully, things like that would never happen now... would they)
It was then 'found' in the early 1950's and moved to its current location in 1971.

I have photographed these two cottages in Southwick, Hampshire before but only individually as parked cars in the road were blocking the view. On this visit in June last year the village was hosting a D Day Revival weekend - hence the flags on one of the cottages. Parking in the road was heavily restricted so this shot was too good to miss!
The quiet village of Southwick rose to prominence in 1944 as in the lead up to the D Day landings on 6 June nearby Southwick House became the headquarters of the main allied commanders, General Dwight Eisenhower, Admiral Bertram Ramsey and General Bernard Montgomery. It was from Southwick House they planned and oversaw the invasion of Europe and are known to have used the Golden Lion public house in the centre of the village for an evening drink.
The thatched house under a blanket of snow , this is the entrance , there is a lot more of the building out of shot .
Came across this photograph from a visit to Somerset last year. Not quite sure why I never uploaded it at the time but that is easily rectified now!
Many people will recognize this location as being Selworthy Green, a collection of cottages maintained by the National Trust near Minehead on the edge of the Exmoor National Park.
A cute little thatched barn on Inis Meain. There was an even cuter one but I couldn’t get to it!

When I go on my 3km local looped walk, I love to greet this lovely cottage that is lovingly cared for by the owner. I think it is a fine example of a rare type of home, the thatched one.
Common names: Cape Thatching Reed; Dakriet (Afrikaans = 'roof reed'.
Botanical name: Elegia tectorum.
Family: Restionaceae.

The Thatched Bridge can be seen on a small road / bridle way by the side of Polesden Lacey - A National Trust property . The bridge links the main grounds and property to the orchard and the old kitchen gardens at Polesden Lacey .
This shot does seem to have an odd perspective here as we are almost level with the underside of the bridge yet with not too may steps forward one will have dropped nearly 3 metres . The road continues on at a steep incline down and goes under another bridge and then vanishes completely before turning sharply to the left until it comes to an old farm . There is a shot of the farm in the third comment box and the first two comment boxes show a couple of also rans for the challenge .
As we can see , the thatched bridge is for pedestrians only and two can be seen crossing the bridge - only one face is visible and that is only a partial view - that is enough for a bit of Asia ---

The Cornish costal village of Cadgwith is a delight and also one I found out about through a long time Flickr pal. Thanks Baz. Thankfully the vehicles of tourists are banned from the village, so after leaving your car at a convenient car park a short walk through the maze of thatched cottages has been created for those who want to see the village and walk to the fishing cove. This somewhat constricted view was taken from that very footpath.
