    With the dramatic Atlantic views, it is easy to see why a lookout post would have been built here in World War Two. A total of 83 were constructed as the 'Coast Watching Service'. Volunteers kept watch during 8 to 12 hour shifts, reporting any activity they witnessed. This was number 38 of the 83 with many now removed.

      It must have been damn lonely working here. However, the view was exceptional. I wonder if back then boredom wasn't the better alternative to sudden action...
