Near Ilfracombe, North Devon

A beautiful morning on the hills near Ilfracombe. As we stood and watched these blades go by, we could see Wales across the sea, and the coastline towards Lynton, as well as the hills of Exmoor. How could anyone have dreamt that such industrialisation would be forced upon rural Devon - in the name of environmentalism?
And just by the way, for anyone who has watched Windfarm Wars, the blades coming to the Denbrook Valley near Dartmoor will be bigger than these ones. All the better to be seen from Yes Tor, of course.

Coming to a hill near you...?

Another short clip showing what happens when they build a wind farm. They have to lay down roads, to bear the weight of the heavy construction vehicles. On either side of Burland Lane, the ancient drovers track between Ilfracombe and Braunton, roads have been constructed. This was filmed at a point where they had made an opening through both sides of the lane, so that they could drive across it.
If you live in the countryside, the chances are that this could be happening in the future to your hill, or your moor, or your valley, too, wherever you are.
