The red cliffs are composed of Mercia Mudstone (or Keuper Marl) and Otter Sandstone formations. Age: These rocks date back to the Triassic Period, which was approximately 252 to 201 million years ago. This makes them some of the oldest rocks exposed on this section of the Jurassic Coast. Colour Origin: The colour comes from iron oxides (ferric iron), which effectively rust the sediment. This is a signature of their original environment. Ancient Environment: When these rocks were deposited, Britain was located much closer to the equator and was part of a vast, hot, and dry desert interior. The sediments were laid down in this desert by wind-blown sand dunes and occasional flash floods from ancient river systems.

Harnessing the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention of human ingenuity, whose origins can be traced back to ancient times. Thanks to such a design, a watercourse – natural or artificial – made it possible to simply replace human or animal muscle power with the power of natural elements, for example, to grind grain into corn or press oil from fruit. There are essentially two drive variants for watermills: * Either the flowing water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or * the water is guided above the wheel – usually through a so-called "mill channel" – and falls onto the blades. This design utilizes natural gravity to achieve greater efficiency.

Perfect day trip for wild life spotting

Perfect for filling up water filtration bottle

this road becomes flooded would avoid when on yellow 🟡 weather warning cause you might need a boat, but otherwise it's very pretty and worth a visit great pubs for food nearby and air BnB places

A little muddy would recommend good boots and poles as my walking companion isn't to great and said the ground is very uneven I however found it ok

great flat path lots of birds to see, sheep cows and fish

The paths where really good not to muddy, a few puddles which you can walk around however on the road was a big stream and got a little dirty lucky my walking boots are waterproof no to many hills, and a very nice farm shop with a catering van, the bakery sells the best pasties. You won't be disappointed
