Places to see in ( Seaton - UK )
Seaton is a small seaside town in East Devon on the south coast of England. It faces onto Lyme Bay, to the west of the mouth of the River Axe with red cliffs to one side and white cliffs on the other. Axmouth and Beer are nearby.
A sea wall provides access to the mostly shingle beach stretching for about a mile, and a small harbour. Seaton sits on the 96-mile (155 km) long Dorset and East Devon Coast World Heritage Site, more commonly known as the Jurassic Coast. From here it is possible to visit rock strata dating from three geological periods in a 185 million-year ‘geological walk through time’.
Seaton was an important port for several centuries, supplying ships and sailors for Edward I's wars against Scotland and France. In the 14th century heavy storms caused a landslip which partially blocked the estuary, and the shingle bank started to build up. In 1868 the arrival of the railway reduced the use of the harbour.
Seaton was served by a branch line, opened in 1886, from Seaton Junction on the Salisbury to Exeter main line. The railway was successful and considerably assisted in the development of Seaton as a holiday destination. Seaton and Beer became the two most popular holiday destinations in East Devon. Part of the trackbed has been used to construct the Seaton Tramway to Colyton, a tourist attraction.
In the 19th century Seaton developed as a holiday resort, which it remains to this day. Seaton lost its largest holiday camp at the beginning of 2009 when the site was purchased by Tesco who opened a major supermarket on the site in late 2011. However, Seaton still has many accommodation providers including guest houses, hotels, a camping site and a caravan park. The church on the edge of town was built in the 14th century, with a squat tower dating from the 15th century. Seaton is also notable for having one of the world's first concrete bridges, built over the River Axe in 1877, by the Seaton and Beer Railway company.
The Seaton Tramway takes visitors across country to Colyford and Colyton. It runs alongside the estuary giving views of the nature reserve on one side and the estuary wildlife on the other. At Beer, about two miles west of Seaton, is the Beer Heights Light Railway; along with numerous model railways this is part of Pecorama, a tourist attraction provided by the model railway manufacturer Peco. On 26 March 2016 the Seaton Jurassic visitor centre opened in the town which is a time travelling experience telling the story of the natural heritage of the Jurassic Coast past and present.

From Blyth to North Shields by bike
SEE MY TRAVEL GROUP ON FACEBOOK :
Here I am cycling back from Blyth to North Shields. This part of the journey is not as interesting as the outward journey as now I am on the roads, one of which is a main road. This takes me through the ancient village of Earsdon which offers views towards the North Sea and we can see St. Mary's lighthouse.
My channel has around 2,600 original films, mainly on travel and history but I have also placed films on other subjects
Please feel free to ask questions in the public area or to comment on things you disagree with. Sometimes there are mistakes because I speak without preparation. If I see the mistakes myself, I make this clear in the text. Please also leave a star rating!
There are a number of films here on the packaging industry. This is because I am the publisher of Central and Eastern European Packaging -- - the international platform for the packaging industry in this region focusing on the latest innovations, trends, design, branding, legislation and environmental issues with in-depth profiles of major industry achievers.
Most people may think packaging pretty boring but it possibly effects your life more than you really imagine!
Central and Eastern European Packaging examines the packaging industry throughout this region, but in particular in the largest regional economies which are Russia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Austria. That is not to say that the other countries are forgotten, they are not, but obviously there is less going on. However the fact that there are so many travel related films here is not from holidays but from business trips attending trade fairs around the region. Every packaging trade fair is a new excuse to make another film!
Tower Beach Archeology Weekend - Fun on the Foreshore - London
Tower Beach Archeology Weekend is an annual summer event which is part of the Festival of British Archeology. For only two days of the year, the public are allowed rare access to the beach when the Thames River is at low tide.
The public are encouraged to search the beach (beachcombing) in hope of finding historic pieces of debris and artefacts.
For those who happen to find any objects, they can take them to teams of archaeologists and environmentalists who will help identify the finds.
The event is great for kids. Throughout both days, there are many other activities to enjoy like exploring spoil heaps, making mosaics, learning an old coin forger's tricks and even playing an ancient board game.
The beachcombing at Tower Beach is free. It is recommended that you wear sturdy footwear, bring a plastic bag to put your findings in, and metal detectors are strictly prohibited!
Plane over the River Tyne
SEE MY HISTORY PAGE ON FACEBOOK :
Here is my commentary on how nice it is to fly over the Tyne estuary - although taken from the ground at Tynemouth. I have not filmed this from the 'plane as invariably it is after they tell you to switch everything off and I do as I am told on an aircraft!
My channel on you tube : is one of the most prolific from Poland. With almost one film per day, one may be forgiven for thinking I do nothing else but I do have a day job as well. My big interest in life is travel and history but I have also placed films on other subjects
