At the rate the East coast is eroding it won't be long before us here in the West will have the best of both worlds - living in the West and just a short journey to the East!!!
I'd better get a snorkel! :-O
Certainly when you go to the Naze in Essex you really can see how the coast is eroding, the soft cliffs there are disappearing at a great rate - won't be long before the historic Naze tower ends up in the sea, like the WW2 pillboxes that are already down on the beach.
any advocates for the North Coast I wonder? :t:
Have never been up there, or visited Scotland actually - although my grandmother grew up on a croft on the north coast!
Aha! So now we've reached the bigger question: coastal or inland?
I like a mix - I mostly spend my time inland but feel a strong need to to get to the coast whenever I can. Even inland though I'm usually near water - I love being near rivers and lakes and the sea. My main patches are all along the river here, I like walking through the countryside but nothing is better than walking along the river, especially in late spring with dragonflies zooming about, Cuckoos calling in the distance and the Sedge Warblers singing in the reeds. :t:
