Poet's Walk, Salt Fields and Lord Tennyson's Home of Clevedon, Part 5, 2012.wmv

Prior to the wander along Poet's Walk to Salthouse Fields I visited Tennyson's thatched house and took a few images allowing my imagination to picture him during his time here--how his home would have seemed quite remote--no avenues or closes named after poets in his day, no retirement bungalows and no motorcars--in Tennyson day he probably wandered without predetermined footpaths BUT the views across Somerset would have been the same--the Mendips, Worlebury Woods,Sandbay, the Atlantic Ocean and St Andrew's Church. Of the latter I have created several videos of this church in 2011 inside and outside--full of history and no doubt visited by Tennyson. So here we go--Salthouse Fields and the upright wooden stakes--I need to find out more about the history here.

Clevedon Marine Lake and Poets Walk - March 2015

Sorry about the sound quality, this is a new phone to me so it will take a while to iron out the bugs. Inspired by Jag Betty's Strange Places In Scotland walks with his selfie stick and his Bro for company.
Equally inspired by Lynn Hemeon and his walks around his home in Nova Scotia. Here is a typical one of his videos
Lynn also does a lot of Time Lapse on his other channel GoPro Time Lapse

Generally my projects are for my grandchildren to enjoy. OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap.

The Clevedon Visit, Part 3, Poet's Walk & Wain's Hill, 2012.wmv

After I left the Pier I wandered along the Promenade for a hot coffee to warm up and then continued towards the marina and Poet's Walk. Poet's Walk is in memory of Alfred Lord Tennyson, Queen Victoria's Poet Laureate who's thatched home still exisits and I have taken images of Tennyson house. Once reaching Wain's Hill beautiful panoramic views can be experienced of my Beautiful Somerset and the vast Atlantic Ocean, also the muddy estuary of the River Yeo. In Tennyson's time this spot would be much quieter, remoter and isolated--the sort of place I imagine a poet would need to conjure up magical words of love , life, death etc...Other poets have also wandered here and one is remembered in the church of St Andrew's who took his own life by plunging to his death from this beauty spot.--perhaps not always the best place to visit if you feel depressed or melancholic----for others it will lift the spirits--- such is the unpredictabilty of being human. Tennyson wrote many poems but one of his most famous is 'The Charge of the Light Brigade' which I remember from Childhood--we had to learn all the verses.

The Clevedon Visit, Part 4, 'Poet's Hill & Walk, 2012.wmv

Here we are at last on Wain's Hill following Poet's Walk---a place of military importance with its old WWII Bunker on the very top--a lookout post built to see if the Germans were coming---And long, long before that part of an Iron Age Fort similar to Worlebury in Weston Super Mare---the Romans probably got up here too--a commanding place with magnificent views on a panoramic scale--a good defensive location--a place for poets, for nature lovers, for lovers and those out of love etc....
