WISEMAN’S BRIDGE is a tiny hamlet straddled along
a deep-sided wooded valley facing south towards a part
rocky and part sandy beach. It is a great location to
watch sea life or just sit and relax and watch the activities
at sea. The land in this area was owned by an Andrew
Wiseman in 1329. Consequently, the owners name was used
as a place name. The hamlet was to become well-known
during the Second World War. In 1943, Churchill visited
the area as the allies practiced for the D day landings
prior to the Normandy invasions. Wiseman’s Bridge
has a good pub on the beach, caravan and camping sites
and is a popular resort for visitors.
