You are probably right AccyX as evidenced by this link there's been a lot of activity some legal and some not so legal around these coves for hundreds of years.

Yes, it does.....and when we were growing up there were never trees or bushes in there...just long grass.
We played in it often, it was a fort, a ship, a house,a swimming pool....it was anything our imaginations wanted it to be.
A safe area to play...We could be seen by our parents, they knew exactly where to look for us.

They appear to be putting a pipeline in. Incidentally as I was walking the path there was a large bird, eagle like in colour and flight with a wingspan roughly about the size of my arms outstretched, couldn't get a close up look as every time I got close it sort of dropped off the branch it was sat on and glided/flew away again.

The RSPB: Buzzard

Probably, but it was deep into the woods so it never got to a position to have a proper look

You've captured the best raccoon shots I've seen yet! Beautiful creatures :)
