Near The Valley oif Rocks in Lynton in Devon is a coastal stretch of land that is truly dramatic. Not least of all for its ambience but also because of the great weathering that the landscape has endured. Here it is rugged and ancient, permanent in its stance against the elements. There are stunning rock formations near by and this stoic tree almost offering its arms to those who would sit in its company.
This wonderfully maintained avenue runs parallel to the Laira Plym estuary, which leads you up to Saltram Estate, a stunning Devonshire property which is part of the UK's National Trust.
