    I had no idea these pill boxes were there, thanks for showing us. I will say I love the nature reserve along the beach, it's like going on a little adventure every time you visit 😊

    Fab beach Martin - and usually very windswept.
    I loved this beach wander - I wasn't aware of the pill boxes there although I have seen them in other locations.
    Take care,
    Paul

      @@Somersetmanwalking Thanks Darren. It was somebody else's RUclips video that showed the location of the pillboxes. Until then I had no idea they were there as they can't br seen from the beach. Nice that they haven't been defaced with graffiti. 🙂🙂

      @MartinPopeFilmmaker completely agree Martin 👍 every single bit of wall on bridges or infrastructure there seems to be graffiti, I guess that's just how it is nowadays 😉

    The low entrance to the 2nd pillbox was for limbo dancers because even back then the people weren't that short. Well solid brickwork and concrete to last for many years. I bet they've seen some activities since the war ended and surprisingly, you found nobody inside of them. Thanks for taking us along Martin.

      @@mmwaashumslowww7167 Thanks. Yeah the entrance was very low but it was nice to see that none of the pillboxes had been defaced. I would of never known these were there if it hadn't been for another RUclipsrs drone video showing the location. 🙂🙂
