Google street view pictures must be a few years old?

I think these days that Ellan Vannin Fuels have replaced Total?! ;D

Are we perhaps over thinking things? 

You were certainly right there  :-X

I'm still fairly sure the reason for the wall and bridge is in some way tourism related.

And you were right as well.

Thanks JenB, just kicking myself for not thinking Isle of Man... I was doing a similar thing to Sc00p but going round Ireland instead  ::)

Very satisfying conclusion to this one - lovely photos, KG, and well done again to Sc00p.

Fabulous photos KG!  I have a vision of you peering over each shoulder then quickly scrambling over the gate ;D.  You were very brave, there could have been a stroppy security guard or growly dogs in there.

You may be kicking yourself for not finding the photo location, but you have certainly redeemed yourself with your photos  ;)

This has been a great mysterious post, with a brilliant identification and lovely photos to finish with.
I have really enjoyed this and KG I felt as if I was looking at somewhere familiar and it was lovely to see it in colour.. Thanks to everybody, not forgetting Caz for posting this in the first place.

It's always good to see the "now" photos and these are especially good to see, as I didn't think this mystery would be solved. Well done KGarrad.

Was the island suggested at reply #38 (Tenby) on this thread, the one used in "Sherlock" last night ?

All the way through I kept thinking it looked familiar when they showed overhead shots, and there was even the bridge at one point!
I was thinking "that's Cazza's island!", but then when I looked at the thread this morning it wasn't Cazza's islands that had the fort at the end, but one we found during the long road to discovery!

Anyone else think the same? Or were we all cowering behind the sofa?!

Sherlock was filmed using St Catherine's Rock, off Castle Beach, Tenby last summer ;D
