点评:What an absolute triumph of coastal engineering.
For those unfamiliar, Longbridge Deverill Beach is a unique community attraction where visitors bring back sand from beaches they’ve visited on holiday and add it to the ever-growing collection. Over the years, grains from all over the world have combined to create what may be Wiltshire’s only beach with a more international pedigree than most airports.
Where else can you stand in a village by the River Wylye and technically have your feet in sand from Spain, Cornwall, Greece, Devon, Florida, and possibly a suspiciously large contribution from someone’s cat litter tray?
The sea is currently undergoing extensive redevelopment and remains unavailable, but the atmosphere is wonderful. Children love it, adults love explaining it to confused visitors, and newcomers spend several minutes trying to work out whether everyone is joking.
Highlights include:
* No sharks.
* No jellyfish.
* No risk of sunburn nine months of the year.
* Easy parking.
* The shortest walk from pub to beach in Wiltshire.
A remarkable example of what can be achieved when a community collectively decides, “You know what this roadside needs? More beach.”
Five stars. Would happily contribute another bucket of sand from my next holiday. 🏖️😄🌍
“The only beach where the souvenirs come to the beach, rather than the other way round.”

对于不太了解的人来说,朗布里奇·德弗里尔海滩(Longbridge Deverill Beach)是一个独特的社区景点,游客们会从度假时去过的其他海滩带回沙子,添加到这个不断增长的沙滩收藏中。多年来,来自世界各地的沙粒汇聚于此,造就了威尔特郡(Wiltshire)或许是唯一一个比大多数机场更具国际化特色的海滩。
还有哪里能让你站在怀利河(River Wylye)畔的村庄里,脚踩着来自西班牙、康沃尔、希腊、德文郡、佛罗里达,甚至可能还有来自某户人家猫砂盆的大量沙子呢?
目前,这片海域正在进行大规模的改造,暂时无法使用,但这里的氛围依然美妙。孩子们喜欢这里,大人们乐于向一脸茫然的游客解释,而初来乍到的人则会花上好几分钟来琢磨大家是不是在开玩笑。
亮点包括:
* 没有鲨鱼。
* 没有水母。
* 一年中有九个月不用担心晒伤。
* 停车方便。 * 威尔特郡从酒吧到海滩最短的步行距离。
这是一个绝佳的例子,展现了当一个社区集体决定“你知道这条路边需要什么吗?更多的沙滩!”时,能够取得怎样的成就。
五星好评。下次度假我还会带一桶沙子来。🏖️😄🌍
