Dialect

Chapter two
Acland-Hood Estate
This trail has a mix of history, geology, local dialect words and interesting wildlife. The Storywalk really begins just along the track at the harbour which was abandoned in 1900 after a wild December storm devastated it completely.
The walk journeys west along the cliffs, where we will talk a little about the practice bombing range in the channel, the local geology and fossils before heading inland and stopping at Lilstock deconsecrated church.
As you walk towards the beach, look out for the roses growing in what was once the gardens of the old coast guard, customs office and wayfaring inn “The Limpet Shell'.
The photograph above was taken by The Reverend Derrick around 1900.

Directions - Walk along the path towards the sea, the next chapter will reveal at the beach. Note - refresh this page whenever the distance counter gets a little sleepy or use the 'help' button on the bar below. But as you walk perhaps discuss what the old Somerset dialect word ‘kitty bats’ (pronounced keet'ee baats) might refer to.
