Fullabrook Down Wind Farm sub-station

This is a short clip taken from Knowlwater bridge, between Barnstaple and Braunton. The Fullabrook Down Wind Power Station cables have been laid on the hills, and now work starts on the sub-station, with the turbines believed to be coming sometime in the spring.

If you want to see what it was like here by the stream before the diggers moved in, , go to the Europe's Ill Wind website and click on the video link (you can see the bridge and fields beside it at about 2 minutes into the DVD)

For a map showing the locations of the turbines, go to this page on the Artists Against Wind Farms website.
