웸버리 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

In the 1920s this was a thriving holiday destination filled with 200 chalets, beach huts and a lido dug into the rockpools. It was an early example of an endless pool, its tagline was 'Where Sea and Sky are Lido Blue'. The Lido was requisitioned by the War Office during World War Two and now all that remains is the tidal swimming pool.

Despite its small size, this island was once home to two different families in the 18th and 19th centuries. Most recently, Samuel Wakeham bargained to live in exile on the island after he was sentenced to transportation in the early1800s. Before that a man was sentenced to live on Great Mew Stone for seven years in 1744, but decided to live there for the rest of his life, never again coming to the mainland. Their home, much extended by Wakeham, still stands on the island today. Public access to Great Mew Stone was barred by the War Office during World War Two. It is now an important haven for bird and sea life.

Walking shoes in connection with sometimes very steep parts.
