View from the A38

Nature has reclaimed this old grandstand near Buckfastleigh, but it still fascinates me. I look out for it everytime we pass by. When we first used to drive past the racetrack was still visible, but now hedges have been planted and the land has been reclaimed for farming
Some history here

I am sure that it has deteriorated further since then!
