The road to Balgreggan Extensive private wood on the left.
Snow on the shore and lying on the sea at Sandhead. A heavy snow shower fell on the sand when the tide was out. The incoming tide lifted the snow on top of the water. A rare sight for somewhere that gets snow about once every two or three years.
Road junction near Sandhead Taken from the road Balgreggan looking towards the B7042 Portpatrick to Sandhead road.
