DOWN BY THE MEWSTONE

Now that the evenings are lengthening and the beauty of the coastal South Devon countryside returns

to fill my mind, come with me along the old metalled path from the end of the lonely road high above

Kingswear - marked by a solitary tree - to pass the watchtower looking out over the land as it drops

down to the beautiful River Dart estuary and the ruins of the WW2 coastal battery that still guards 

the memory of some of the darkest days these islands have ever known.  Take the walk with me  

down by the Mewstone.

(Poem read and recorded by Peter Dymond at Diamond Studios, Bristol).
