"National Trust UK, Coast & Country"

Cardboard Jigsaw Puzzles by Gibson, 2008

 COAST

"View of bales of Hay near Chyngton Farm in the Foreground, with the spectacular white Seven Sisters cliffs and calm turquoise sea beyond."

This Coastline is located in Sussex, between Birling Gap and Cuckmere Haven. The chalk cliffs are continously eroded by the sea. The house between the haybales and cliffs are the coastguard cottages.

Although it is made of only 250 pcs., this puzzle wasn't easy to assemble. Pieces of the same colour fit everywhere :-)

COUNTRY

"Drowned drumlins at Strangford Lough. Sheep grazing in the fore with their woolly coats caught in the sunshine."

This landscape is one of the greatest attractions in Northern Ireland. There are myriads of tiny inlets and 120 islands spread over UK's largest sea inlet. Strangford Lough is famous for over 2000 species of marine life, wildflowers and butterflies. the sheltered waters also allow a great population of common seals.

This jigsaw puzzle was really thrilling to assemble due to the shape and fit of the pieces.

.....

last but not least: a funny timelapse video if found today
