シートンの天然記念物・トップ19

You could be forgiven for believing you were in a woodland area taken completely away from the seafront.

I have no idea why they call it the tombstone. Maybe as it looks like one? I don't know. Anybody know?

Quite the section this. Has a little bit of everything.

Little bit of useless trivia for you. on the section outlayed on my page, this is the only gate you'll need to go through. That is something that doesn't happen often. The area is predominately open meadow land and woodland preserved by the National Trust. The area was an important Armada look-out point and later when a French invasion was feared, the warning beacon sited here, when lit, would have started a chain from the coast north to Trinity Hill near Axminster and west to Rousdon in the direction of Seaton. With vigilance, the entire country to the north coast could be alerted within half an hour thanks to the well worked out network of sightlines joining hilltop to hilltop.

Now don't get disappointed, you're basically in the thick of it, and you'll not get to see much. But there we go

Beer Quarry Caves are former underground limestone quarries near Beer in the county of Devon on the English Channel coast. The village of Beer is about two kilometers west of Seaton and 13 kilometers east of Sidmouth. The caves can only be visited with a guide. Entrance fee 11 pounds. Afterwards, it is worth taking a walk through the village of Beer and having a coffee or tea on the beach.

The Undercliff national nature reserve is a seven-mile stretch of fairly unescapable woodland between Lyme Regis and Axmouth. It's formed in an area of landslip between the solid cliff tops at the edges of fields and the beach below. As such the path that runs through it is changeable as the earth moves. It's a wonderful but committing walk.

Beer Quarry Caves is a man-made limestone underground complex located about a mile west of the village of Beer, Devon, and the main source in England for beer stone. The tunnels resulted from 2,000 years of quarrying beer stone, which was particularly favoured for cathedral and church features such as door and window surrounds because of its colour and workability for carving. Stone from the quarry was used in the construction of several of southern England's ancient cathedrals and a number of other important buildings as well as for many town and village churches, and for some buildings in the United States.
