Red Cliffs

Featured image
When you think of the Devon coastline a few key natural features come to mind; sandy beaches, pebbled coves, wildlife reserves and of course dramatic cliffs. The cliffs of Devon come in many colours, from rusty red sandstone along much of the eastern and central coast, with a pocket of white chalk cliffs around the village of Beer, to rugged grey Schist to the west of the county. These cliffs can be found by walking down to the beach in Branscombe. There is another photo of cliffs nearby here.

Hooken Cliffs

Hooken cliiffs, a dramatic landslip in 1790 left a tumbled landscape where thick vegetation is speared through by spectacular white cliffs and pinnacles, providing a haven for wildlife. Part of the south west coast path, there are spectacular views in either direction of red cliffs soaring beyond the white cliffs, linking the villages of Beer and Branscombe with tales of smugglers, Romans and lacemakers. It is also is the best location in Devon for finding fossils, in particular, echinoids, ammonites, fish and brachiopods, which are easy to find. You can find another photo on the south west coast path here.

South West Coast Path

The South West Coast Path is England’s longest waymarked long-distance footpath and a National Trail. It stretches for 630 miles (1,014 km), running from Minehead in Somerset, along the coasts of Devon and Cornwall, to Poole Harbour in Dorset. Because it rises and falls with every river mouth, it is also one of the more challenging trails. The total height climbed has been calculated to be 114,931 ft (35,031 m), almost four times the height of Mount Everest. It has been voted ‘Britain’s Best Walking route twice in a row by readers of The Ramblers‘ Walk magazine, and regularly features in lists of the world’s best walks. I took this shot between the Valley of Rocks and Lynmouth, you can find corresponding photos of them here and here.

Lee Bay

Lee Bay or just Lee is a small village on the North Devon coast near Woolacombe. Lee is situated on the rugged and inhospitable stretch of coast between Ilfracombe and Woolacombe, which includes Bull Point (with its lighthouse) and Morte Point, both notorious for shipwrecks in earlier times, and both on the South West Coast Path. I took this photo whilst having lunch at Lee bay. The sea really is light blue. You can find another photo of nearby Valley of Rocks here.

Lynmouth

Lynmouth is a village in Devon, England, on the northern edge of Exmoor. The village straddles the confluence of the West Lyn and East Lyn rivers, in a gorge 700 feet (210 m) below Lynton, which was the only place to expand to once Lynmouth became as built-up as possible. The villages are connected by the Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway, which works two cable-connected cars by gravity, using water tanks. I took this photo when the tide was out in the afternoon. You can find another photo of nearby valley of rocks here and the South West Coast Path leading to it here.

The Valley of Rocks, sometimes called Valley of the Rocks, is a dry valley that runs parallel to the coast in north Devon, England, about 1 kilometre (0.6 mi) to the west of the village of Lynton. It is a popular tourist destination, noted for its herd of feral goats, and for its landscape and geology. I shot this facing the top most peak facing out to the sea, you can sea the path leading up to the top, which is part of the South West Coast Path, photo here. You can also find another photo of nearby Lynmouth here and Lee Bay here.
