Lancaut Peninsular, Tidenham.

The peninsular is formed by a large 'S' shaped bend in the river Wye. This view is looking SE towards Chepstow. The river passes in front and behind the fields and then flows at the base of the rocky cliffs.
There used to be a village called Lancaut here, the village was never large, but in 1306 contained 10 tenant households, and in 1551 had 19 adults. By 1750 the village had only two inhabited houses and in 1848 the parish was recorded as having a mere 16 inhabitants. The civil parish was merged with Tidenham in 1935 and today there is little remaining of the village except for a still-working farm. Image cannot be loaded

A peregrine fledgling with it's father looking out from a nest high above the river Wye. There were two babies hatched but now only one remains, apparently it fell off the nest ledge (or was it down to sibling rivalry?) Image cannot be loaded
