Portland Beach huts






Bitterly cold but well wrapped up we headed  by bus to Portland. The final stop was 'Avalanche Road' in Southwell  from where we walked along the coast path towards Portland Bill lighthouse, stopping for lunch at the Lobster House Cafe and a pint at the Pulpit. Taking photos with gloves on was a bit of a challenge but necessary - so many different aspects of stone and sea to record. The beach huts were a bonus (actually on the cliff above the sea with no beach around, apparently they go for around £30K ! )  and I loved the rusty stone lifting wynches scattered around the landscape - they'll definately feature in a post of their own!
Tomorrow we'll be returning to the Tout Quarry Sculpture Park and Cove House Inn
