The ultimate in secluded living?  Pull up the drawbridge, and you'd have no visitors

Ah, very cool. I dare you to fly under it (and I dare myself to power loop the bridge :-))

I thought  of you when I saw it

I like that, a new story in my head again. Many many thanks

Firstly, it turns out differently and secondly, than you think. We are always learning

I'm a slow learner

That would be cool with one of those glass walkways-nice picture

Thanks. It's an extraordinary place.

Great shot and what a unique location Mr. B.    I say add a heliport on the roof and get rid of the bridge all together.  

Going to be really cool to see @Depp power loop that bridge.  

A poi of that would make a great video. Beautiful.

I'm in! Good for when paparazzi comes in.

A central trapdoor to send them plunging into the chasm

I was going to go back the following day, before we left. But the tide was in

Some pretty extensive scaffolding around it, so I did wonder just how much development is going on.

Now I caught this from the other side.

That's a better shot - and one I hadn't seen. Did you post in anywhere?

I dont think I did post that one.     Id love to have seen better the top of the island,    something I only thought about when it was too late.

Here's the best I can offer. But it's shrouded in scaffolding now.

Some curious things going on there,  no garden which is a shame,   but just the land side of the bridge did you spot the wrecked hot tub?

Would be interesting to see how that turns out in the future.  Might just be extensive cosmetic work but might also be some major renovations.  

I'd fly all around that bridge all day but I could never walk across it!

I flew over it, but bottled the under-pass
I'd be OK walking across, but my good lady could not.

It will be up to @DAFlys to get any updates - he's headed that way later in the year, I'm told.
I doubt we'll ever make it there again.

I'm with your good lady on that one! I had to have a personal assistant come up at Warwick castle to help me down - it's so embarrassing lol

I can sympathise, but not empathise.
It must inhibit lots of viewing opportunities, alas.Just uploaded a video snippet from Porthleven.

It has for the whole of my life. Though I have visited the top of the trade towers (before they sadly fell) and the Empire State Building but it's got worse with age. Bridges more so than anything else for some reason though I'm perfectly fine flying. Strange phobia.

Yes, please!

Mrs.B says it gets worse with age. Acrophobia (not Agrophobia) is the term she associates with the condition.

That's exactly what it is - an irrational fear rather than a medical condition such as vertigo

No problem whatsoever Mr. B.

I didnt have any plans to go back to Newquay,   but I should be close by so it would be rude not to try and get the after shot for @DowntownRDB - if nothing else Im curious about the work,  it looks like a roof off conversion.  

Blériot53 Posted at 5-21 04:22
Is that what it was. I did wonder.

Yes,  it's missing the lid/cover and seems to be full of rubble.

No doubt that hot tub has seen much better days.

lol,   did you see that one too.

DAFlys Posted at 5-22 06:50

I did.  It appears to have become a trash receptacle.  

I need a similar bridge with a trapdoor for every occasion when the postman attempts to bring me bills
