I walk on top of this today. Know locally as the Pen Park Pot. I lived around here nearly 25 years.

I have been lots of different walks to places I never been. I neverknew there was so much beautiful countryside on my door step.

I walk around the local golf course the view of the greens was so beautiful.

Hi.

I love the west country, walked the west country coast path in my younger days...... enjoyed back packing as a hobby...... had my honeymoon in 1970 at Torquay.... visiting Kents Cavern just along the coast.

Wish I could do it all again, but disabled, aged 76 with too many medical problems, so I must rely on my memories! 😀

This one isn't open to visitors but nevertheless is fascinating.

I love the west country too and fond memories of a child of Devon. Now I making my own with my family.

My 1st place I will go when allow will be Mortehoe north Devon small coastal village near woolacombe.

I remember The Bone Cavern, an amazing cave system in Brixham, Unfortunately closed to the public now for Health and Safety reasons.

It was Beautiful. I went in there with my parents in the early 60s.

Cheers, Midori

Fascinating elanaoali! It's a pity it's not open to the public, but it's not always possible to achieve safely or without a huge budget. Interesting to think of it all beneath your feet as you walk!

Pen Pot: is this on the Kingsweston Estate in Bristol?

"John in Shirehampton" if you listen to BBC Bristol

That's fine, we're a friendly lot in Bristol. Before I moved to Bristol, I lived in a small West Country town, near a village that in the Middle Ages was known for the inhabitants throwing stones at strangers. About 50 years ago things hadn't moved on, as entertainment on Friday or Saturday night's usually involved a punch up with the inhabitants of other villages.

I agree you are a friendly lot. I have been here 25 years so definitely have my feet under the table as my mum says.

God bless you my friend.
