If you browse thorough my "Dunkirk" posts, there are older posts about both.

I wonder, is it where the movie Dunkirk by Ken Loach was shot? I remember first setting foot on Utah Beach a few years ago, just off the ferry from Ireland, and that spine-tingling feeling you explain so well.Was the Disco Ball bunker done up like this as part of an art project? It looks quite extraordinary.<br />#CountryKidsAnnette, Four Acorns / Quatre graines de chĂȘnehttp://www.fouracorns.ie/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003888645468433795.post-48939213522206330472017-12-14T09:51:27.731+00:002017-12-14T09:51:27.731+00:00This had me captivated to read about it, what a ha...This had me captivated to read about it, what a haunting yet amazing place to visit #CountryKids<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03513107221449174677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003888645468433795.post-3334964769417089922017-12-14T09:21:07.306+00:002017-12-14T09:21:07.306+00:00How fantastic to have so much history and a beach ...How fantastic to have so much history and a beach right on your doorstep.

Having watched the Dunkirk film back int he summer it is as if I can see the troops marching along there, the chaos trying to get on the boats and the inevitable bombs. It is strange seeing the beach looking so beautiful, quiet and empty yet with so many reminders of what went on all around you. I know I'd be fascinated by all those bunkers too. Such a gorgeous coastline that stretches so far, perfect for a winter walk and lovely for you to have so close to home.
