キングスカーズウェルの天然記念物・トップ7

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.

You can park up the top and walk down or walk the coast paths as we did,ground is very uneven and rocks get slippery bench half way down if you want to sit down and look at the views

The first church was built here in 1086. Even then, the "centuries-old yew tree" was mentioned - its age is now estimated at 1200 - 1400 years. Legend has it that anyone who manages to walk backwards around it 7 times will have one wish granted. In any case, it is a beautiful, ancient tree that looks pretty healthy and that you just want to hug!

London Bridge is a natural arch that rises from the coastline, set against a backdrop of the glistening blue sea. It's admired for its unique shape and beautiful surroundings, including Tor Bay and the English Channel.

The Yew in the churchyard of St Mary & St Gabriel is thought to be between 1,000 and 2,000 years old. The carved wooden slices are from a Leyland Cyprus, they depict the important church events that would have happened in the last 2,000 years.

With the highest clifftop promenade in England, enjoy spectacular coastal views from Babbacombe Downs, reaching as far as Portland Bill in Dorset on a clear day. 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.
