taken 15 years ago, near to Ringmore, Devon, England

Westcombe
Westcombe
Or Wiscombe. The coast path runs behind the beach. From the waymark on the right, a permissive path runs up the valley floor to join Kingston Bridleway 2. "At Westcombe Beach stand the ruins of a stable that once housed the horses which drew carriages full of the well-to-do down to the beach. There was a private tea house here, owned by the Flete Estate, and guests entertained here at beach parties included members of the royal family." LinkExternal link (Archive LinkExternal link ) As there is little evidence of any other building here, I assume that this is the rebuilt stable referred to.
