Where Am I? No. 235 - Coast Scene
« on: Thursday 27 October 16 11:21 BST (UK) »
Could be a needle in a haystack or very easy, but I thought it worth a shot because of the bridge.

First suggestion: The Orkney Islands somewhere

But what would be the purpose of the foot bridge?  Could it be for military purposes?

My first thought was Towan Beach, Newquay, Cornwall?

But there's a house on the rock there!

I really don't know Yorkslass - I think you can walk under Porth bridge on the beach, but on Cazza's photo I can't see the gap (but I don't know if that is due to the angle of the photo or not  :-\)

Just been looking at "Porth Bridge" images, can't find one from the same angle but everyone I can see, Porth Bridge looks lower than the one in the WAI, and the mainland looks quite close to the bridge in the WAI.  Of course, could just be the angle of the photo.  Would seem odd to have more than one bridge like this though.  Sitting on the fence at the moment.  ???
