Devon, England that marks the start of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.

The Geoneedle represents the rock types found along the Jurassic Coast.

It was commissioned from artist Michael Fairfax and unveiled by the Prince of Wales in 2002.

If you plan ahead, or if you are lucky, you can walk along the beach around Orcombe point when it is low tide. And from down here you are given a different perspective of the red cliffs of the jurrasic coast. The red sandstone cliif tower above you and boulders lay strewn across the beach from landslides in decades gone by. Continue walking the beach, being wedged between the sea and cliffs, but with plenty of space not to scare you, until you reach the slope up to Sandy bay park. Lots of refreshments await you, and the firework sound of gun fire, on a day when the troops test their rifles.
