Brixham still.  I'd not appreciated just how much this area had been involved in various European wars over the centuries.  I'd always rather assumed that Kent and the general right hand corner of England, bore the brunt of that.

After a pleasant walk with our hosts along the harbour and a coffee at the Berry Head Hotel, E and I continued along the coast path to the south, through two Napoleonic-era forts to St Mary's Bay (extra blip).  

The forts were the sites of guns defending the coast, with defences to protect the guns from inland attack.  (We'd been initially puzzled that the defences seemed to face the wrong way). The main blip is from the southern fort.

Brixham harbour itself played a major part in the D-Day invasion of occupied Europe as the embarkation point for large numbers of American troops on landing craft.  The breakwater dates from then, and I'm guessing the curious structure half way along it (extra blip).
