ロディスウェルの天然記念物・トップ13

The former house and gardens of the chemist and inventor Otto Overbeck now belong to the National Trust. The eccentric Otto designed, among other things, the "rejuvenation apparatus". Electrodes were attached to the body and were supposed to work wonders. These and many other oddities can be admired in Overbeck's when the house is open. At the moment it is not because of renovation work! But the gardens are fantastically beautiful and worth a visit on their own. They exude southern charm - visitors almost forget that they are in England. There are only a few parking spaces, so it is better to walk here. Good food is available at the Gastrobus, where you can borrow a basket and enjoy the food in the beautiful garden. Very stylish! We have been here a few times over the years and have always been totally impressed

There are certainly many highlights here, the special being the South Sands Ferry. There is no dock at the South Sand. A kind of tractor drives into the water there, where the ferry then docks. Very picturesque!

The way here is not difficult. From Salcombe take the ferry to Souths Sands and from there it is only a mile or two and you are on a lovely stretch of coastal footpath. You can continue walking to Bolt Head and then along the wall to Overbecks Garden. A wonderful little round.

Large stone slabs forming string with parapets above with large granite coping stones. In 1669 Lydia Bridge was in decay and the existing bridge appears to be either the restored earlier bridge or an entire rebuilding of late C17 or C18 https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101307206-lydia-bridge-south-brent#.Y_SY0SaZO3A

Look Up as well as down for some great view of the archaeology.

Lydia Bridge is a stone packhorse bridge dating back to the 17th or 18th century and remains a Grade II listed structure. Standing on it, you’ll find a waterfall immediately north, running over mossy boulders and generally looking quaint and lovely.

Great view and you often see horses. If you keep walking along the path, you can sometimes see sheep and fluffy cows too.
