Quick View of Dale








As it was a beautiful evening
we decided to have a leisurely drive
through the village of Dale





We knew we were approaching the village
by the ponds on our left




I'm afraid that most of the photos
have been taken through the front window of the car, whilst hubby drove,
 and so some are a little fuzzy!










As we drove down the hill we could see
the village of Dale 

















.......and so we arrive at the village.






              Looking out to sea from the sea front











.......and to the east side






looking out to sea... and zooming in...





 

There are forts,
built in case of invasion by Napoleon, 
all along this estuary


So we drive
around the one way system of this village

 


..........past the Castle......







............and the church on our right....








.........and the entrance
to the walled garden belonging to the castle






along the road edged with colour







 



Some of the photos are a little blurred!



















We head back out of the village......
















I hope you agree
that it was a lovely visit...even though fleeting!!

  6. Thank you so much for the trip, I have enjoyed it immensely!!! I love that red boat out on the water, and the beautiful wildflowers, are they heather? The wall looks like a dam, is it? And it looks to be right at the side of a highway! I love the castle and church....always wanted to go there and now I can see some of the beauty.
