Holywell Dene

It's so close to home we were puzzling as to why we hadn't been exploring here before. I guess you just don't bother so much with the things closer to home. Well we wanted to change that and so we headed along the wiry Hartley Lane and parked up. The Dene is stunning; featuring vast valleys filled with trees, rocks, nature and other features, with split walking levels and the Seaton Burn babbling through on its way to neighbouring Seaton Sluice. Anyway, we brought Slinky with us for today's adventure!

Old bridge abutment left behind from the abandoned 1913 railway line to Collywell Bay.

(never used because WW1 started, so they had to spend war effort elsewhere)
