The rock itself is a site of geological interest, composed of 350-million-year-old Devonian limestone, reflecting its inclusion in the English Riviera Geopark. The landmark is believed to owe its name to its distinctive profile; from certain angles, one of the rock's outcrops is said to resemble a local 'thatcher' working on the roof of a Devon cottage.

If you've worked up an appetite, there are a few places to get a meal here or enjoy some fish and chips by the sea. If you're good with heights, check out the Babbacome Cliff Railway that'll take you down to Oddicombe Beach below.

On the rocky tip of Hopes Nose you can see evidence of 350 million-year-old Devonian limestone all around you. Whilst the ice caps never reached here, the effects of the ice certainly did; with the melting and freezing of the ice caps causing the sea levels to rise up and down dramatically. As such, you can also see evidence of raised beaches in the area at nearby Shennell Cove and Thatcher Rock.

A great place to walk to on the South West Coast Path.

With views over Paignton Bay, this is one of the few cycle friendly parts of the South West Coast Path. Admire the red rock cliffs of this Lyme Bay and Torbay Special Conservation Area and sheltered sandy beaches that lie waiting to be explored.
