Strange Creatures of the Coastal Path

 

 

The rare Newport Dragon enjoying the sea view

The access to the coastal path at Goldcliffe at first glance is not promising.  After driving along countryroads with very little signage you just appear to come to the literal "end of the road." A flight of steps ahead of you takes you to the sea wall and the coastal path.  Cars park on the roadside and on busy summer days the row can extend quite a way down the road.

One person has decided to imrove the facilities. A small shop and garden cafe has been created for the many thirsty walkers who may have forgotten to take their own refreshments. Tables and chairs adorn her garden, along with fairies, toads, dragonflies, butterflies and all sorts of creatures. Service is provided with a friendly smile. Fresh cream scones were on the menu when I last visited. Her first attempt, but excellent!




The even rarer multi-coloured rhinoceros.

The cafe garden is not the only place for strange and unexpected creatures and objects. They appear to abound in this small section of pathway. Has the quality of the sea water something to do with it?

Rarest of all, husband with a giant anchor.
