Coastal Footpath at Lepe There is no path as such for some of the way, but most of the time you can walk along the top of the shoreline fairly easily. High tides can put parts of the route underwater though.

Coastal Protection at Lepe The soft coastline is eroding. Protection here is provided by some fairly low key timberwork unlike nearby locations where more heavy duty concrete and boulders are used to try to limit the damage.

Dark Water Sluice, Lepe Outfall The Dark Water river flows into the sea at Lepe via a tidal lake on the other side of the road. The Environment Agency sluice here controls the flow either into or out of the lake depending on the state of the tide. Just now at high tide, sea water is going upstream into the lake. The square thing on the horizon is a freight ship heading for Southampton loaded with containers.

Parking Barrier, Lepe Country Park Hi-tech camera and gate equipment controls the parking access at Lepe Country Park, which is ok as long as it works. The seaside isn't the kindest environment for outdoor electronics though, so good luck with that.
