Do you know where this is?
« on: April 21, 2006, 22:07:03 »
Here is a picture I took over the Easter holiday.  I know where it is but thought it might create a bit of fun by asking you peeps to identify the location.  ;D  ;D

For some reason it reminds me of a place in Devon, but I can't put my finger on it!  Also, there's possibly something Welsh about it... :-\

it's not Fowey, the river's a lot wider there. Ever seen one of the cement ships going through the town?

You are all very warm but no-one has it yet!!

Clue 1.........It is Devon

Clue 2.........It is not the River Dart.

Keep guessing.

No they don't have wheels on. The commercial port is upriver from the town, and quite large ships dock there. http://www.foweyharbour.co.uk/harbourmap.htm
