Blackmoor Reserve

The first time I visited this location was by pure happy accident, I plugged in the details for somewhere else, but the sat nav took me here.

It felt strange seeing a dead snake, it’s so rare to see one at all in the UK, this location is one of their key habitats

For some reason I’m convinced this is an old iron age fort, that’s completely wrong, it’s an old lead mine. The problem is, even though I know that’s wrong, I can’t stop myself from thinking it. When I came to upload the photos for this blog I spent ages looking in vain for the Blackmoor Reserve folder, but couldn’t find it, and that’s because I saved the folder as ‘iron age fort’ instead.

On my latest visit the weather couldn’t have been more perfect, early evening golden hour sunshine, which turned into a hazy glow as the sun lowered towards the horizon.
