Alfoxton Park Once home to William and Dorothy Wordsworth, Alfoxton Park is now a land-based Buddhist retreat centre. Since 2020, we've been restoring the property. It had been neglected for many years, leaving the house in serious need of care.

Across the fertile flatlands of the River Parrett basin to the distant mist covered Mendip Hills, from Walfords Gibbet on Somersets Quantock Hills!
Thankfully not used as a gibbet since 1789
The empty beer can is forground interest ;-))))

Brief history of Walfords Gibbet

The Crime: In July 1789, John Walford of Over Stowey murdered his wife, Jane Shorney, by beating her with a post and slitting her throat near Doddington, leaving her body near Dead Woman’s Ditch

• The Trial: Walford was tried and convicted at the Bridgwater assizes.
• The Gibbet: He was hanged in August 1789 and his body was placed in a gibbet (a structure used to display executed corpses in chains as a public deterrent) near Over Stowey and the Quantock Hills for about a year.

HFF and a great weekend! A large view may help with the mist.

Sea Wall

Sea Wall on Loch Scavaig with the Black Cullins as a backdrop captured from Elgol, Isle of Skye,

Apologies but a large view required for clarity and detail!

The Black Cuillin is an Alpine mountain range, suitable for climbing and not walking, with a large number of hazards unique to any other mountains in the UK. Formed from rough, dark igneous rocks—primarily gabbro and basalt—that give the peaks their characteristically dark colour,
The highest point of the Cuillin, and of the Isle of Skye, is Sgùrr Alasdair in the Black Cuillin at 992 m (3,255 ft)

HWW and a good 2nd half of the week to all !

Work Bench

Roger (Grisly) has posted:

A small unnamed wooden fishing boat under maintenance with a heavy duty Work Bench, on the breakwater of the tidal island of Ornsay, Isle of Skye

The island is tidal; that is, it is linked to the mainland at low tide. Isleornsay served as a centre for the busy herring fishery at the turn of the 19th century, and was a regular destination for steamship service from Glasgow.

Conveniently located about half way along Skye's south-east coast, the tidal island of Ornsay forms and shelters a superb natural harbour. Isleornsay or, in Gaelic, Eilean Iarmain wraps around the harbour before extending south-west along the shore to become Camuscross.

HBM and a good week to all

Autumn Evening

A hint of an autumn evening as the day draws to a close, over Loch Leven and the Pap of Coe at Ballachulish, Lochaber,
The Pap of Glencoe is a mountain on the northern side of Glen Coe, in the Highlands of Scotland. It lies at the western end of the Aonach Eagach ridge, directly above the point where the River Coe enters Loch Leven.
The Pap is so named as it has a distinctive conical shape resembling a female breast (see: pap), particularly when viewed from the west. It forms part of the "classic" view of the entrance to Glen Coe.

The Original Glenelg-Skye Ferry -

Roger (Grisly) has posted:

No bench for me again this week, But an important message for anyone who has had the real pleasure of crossing the Kylerhea Narrows at the original crossing point between Skye and the Mainland. The scenery is stunning, the wildlife entrancing (seals, otters, sea eagles, seabirds of all kinds),
MV Glenachulish is a ferry operating a summer service between Glenelg, on the Scottish mainland, and Kylerhea, on the Isle of Skye. Built in 1969, she is the last manually operated steel turntable ferry in the world.The route avoids the 36-mile (58 km) road journey via the Skye Bridge.

Image taken from Glenelg Pier looking across to the isle of Skye! Large view perhaps and a nice week to all.

This may not be the correct platform for this but I do urge you to view the link, skyeferry.co.uk

This is the former Priest’s House (now 18 Church Street), Dunster, Somerset.⁠

This Grade II listed building stands in the south-east corner of the churchyard of the Priory Church of St George (the former Benedictine priory church), between Church Street and the churchyard itself. It is a late-medieval structure (with timber framing and rubble sandstone elements), heavily restored around 1877 by the architect G. E. Street (who also restored the church in 1875–77).

Roger (Grisly) has posted:

Buittle Parish Church (also known as St Colman’s Church) is a former Church of Scotland parish church in the civil and ecclesiastical parish of Buittle, Dumfries and Galloway (historic Kirkcudbrightshire), southwest Scotland.
Buittle is a coastal parish between Dalbeattie and Castle Douglas, extending to the Solway Firth; the main settlement is the village of Palnackie. The name derives from Old English bōtl (“dwelling”). The area has strong historical ties to the Lords of Galloway and the Balliol family (John Balliol, King of Scots 1292–1296, and Balliol College, Oxford)
Built in 1918-1919 as a Gothic Revival church (now closed)
