Also had a tour of the naval college, Greenways, Coleton Fishacre, steam train to Paignton, great food and plenty of dry weather! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chilliman Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 Coleton Fishacre is outstanding, I far prefer it to Greenways although both locations are pretty superb. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Misfit Posted August 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 I use to Walk from Paignton to kingswear via Brixham around the coast. I regularly camped at Mansands. Coleton Fishacre is still a regular visiting spot for us. I’m with John out of the two, manly because of the gardens. Dartmoor and the Southams are others I like to drive too. Not sure where you ate, but some great restaurant and pub food in the area. South Milton sands there is a great little cafe we’re the do light lunches, it’s owned by Michel Cane. Paignton and Brixham have changed drastically, they don’t do it for me as it once did. Then again I’m older and needs change. I’m glad the you enjoyed yourself Ian, perhaps you will fry the trip down the Dart in the future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 I spent 3 months in 1968 in Brixham as an apprentice, training with Decca, who had a training school in Fore St. Local girls were most accommodating Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RobH Posted December 3, 2023 Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 It's a parabolic sound mirror used for aircraft direction finding prior to the invention of radar. Hythe I think ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ransomes256 Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 Not Jodrell bank or Hythe but correct use. Another photo to help! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveB66 Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 (edited) They are at Greatstone in the Dungeness nature reserve, Kent and they're a Scheduled Monument. They represent the development of the sound mirrors from the smaller round one, through the larger round one and finishing with the large curved wall and were built betwen 1927- 1931 Dave Edited December 4, 2023 by DaveB66 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RogerH Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 (edited) They are usually open to the public once a year in the summertime. If you go there pop into the Pilot inn for a fish lunch - yum yum. Roger Edited December 4, 2023 by RogerH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ransomes256 Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 I used to live in Littlestone and in school holidays worked on RHDLR. The listening walls were easy access then and were not on an island created by removal of large quantity of shingle. You could hear lots of things moving in the English channel with great ease. Yep the Pilot well known for fish and chips. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
