As I have mentioned before, Louth is in a valley. The tower and spire of the church were made tall enough to be seen from surrounding villages.
Not for the first time we went for a walk down one of the old farm tracks in the village. From the entrance to a field it is possible to see the Lincolnshire Wolds and the spire of St. James' Church. After all the recent rain the atmosphere and viewing were clearer than I have seen on previous attempts.
A wide view
It is possible to make out the spire but by zooming in you can see just how far the tower and spire rise out of the valley about four miles away from my village..
Also viewable from the edge of the village is one of Europes tallest masts.
Belmont TV mast
Built on high ground it stands 1154 ft (351.74m) above the ground.
The mast is about 10 miles away from me.
Nothing like a good shower to clear the air.
ReplyDeleteAdrian: Ver true.
DeleteSuper photos - the penultimate picture reminds me of a church in Herefordshire at Weobley. You can see it from miles away.
ReplyDeleteRR: Thank you.
