Funky painted slabs on beach

These random painted slabs appear to be discarded pieces of concrete which some artist has adopted - they do brighten up a rather dull piece of beach and are found where the cumbria coastal way makes way back to the beach at SD 086867

Beautiful footbridge

This bridge is obviously only there for the benefit of those on the Cumbria Coastal Way but is extremely well built and appears to cross a minor pond - it is marked clearly on the map.
