Ramsgate Kent added to Coastal Scenery in South East by grandad1950 on 10/09/2024

From the East pier you get good views of both the beach and the harbour. Walking around the harbour there are lots of photo opportunities of the town and marina as well. Even the seagulls seemed friendly.

Nostell Priory, Wakefield (By richrab)

Nostell Priory is a Palladian house in Nostell, West Yorkshire, in England, near Crofton and on the road to Doncaster from Wakefield. It dates from 1733 and was built for the Winn family on the site of a medieval priory.[2] The Priory and its contents were given to the National Trust in 1953 by the trustees of the estate and Rowland Winn, 3rd Baron St Oswald.

TOAL from the Doncaster road outside the grounds, only parking option was a pull in with a locked gate to Ashfield Angling fishing lake. Ok for a ten min flight, but I would not park and walk off as access may be required.

This was within the advisory boundary zone of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance, so be aware.

Brodsworth Community Woodlands, Doncaster (By richrab)

Following the closure of Brodsworth colliery in the 1990s, the community suffered from high unemployment and health and social problems, compounded by the large area of derelict land which became a focus for antisocial behaviour. The site was remediated as part of the National Coalfields Programme, transforming it into a thriving natural space which offers rich habitats for wildlife and a valuable recreational space for the local community.

Visitors can explore an extensive network of walking and cycling trails that wind through picturesque woodland and open meadows, where kestrels can often be seen soaring overhead. The site’s carefully designed wetland areas support diverse flora and fauna, making it a haven for birdwatchers and nature lovers. With panoramic views and peaceful surroundings, Brodsworth Community Woodland is an ideal retreat for those seeking to enjoy the outdoors.

Crossraguel Abbey, Carrick South (By Zipco)

The Abbey of Saint Mary of Crossraguel is a ruin of a former abbey near the town of Maybole, South Ayrshire, Scotland. Although it is a ruin, visitors can still see the original monks’ church, their cloister and their dovecot.

Founded in 1244 by Donnchadh, Earl of Carrick, following an earlier donation of 1225, to the monks of Paisley Abbey for that purpose. They reputedly built nothing more than a small chapel and kept the balance for themselves. The Earl took the matter to the Bishop of Glasgow for arbitration and, winning his case, forced the monks to build a proper abbey.
