From the top of this incredible cliff to the east of West Bay, you'll have amazing views of the coastline and the town. If it sounds familiar, it might be because it featured in the ITV1's hit drama, Broadchurch.

The cliff path is unsafe East of West Bay, but running along the beach on the wet sand (probably best to avoid high tide) is really wonderful. If you are willing to run through shallow water, you can ford the R Bride and then go back up to the cliff path. Otherwise, track up the steep shingle and follow the R Bride's West Bank through the caravan park to cross it further up. I followed the fence at the top of the hill and climbed over a fence to join the cliff edge path.
