taken 27 years ago, near to Lundy, Devon, England

Path to the Old Battery - Lundy Island
Path to the Old Battery - Lundy Island
Here on the open moorland of Lundy's west coast is the path, with marker stones, which leads from the village across Ackland's (also Acland's) Moor and down to Battery Point. Two families lived in the cottages here and when fog shrouded the island the brace of cannon here would be fired at intervals as an audible warning to shipping. Time photo taken not available.
