Peaceful spot on benches by recreation grounds

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.

check the tide. If it's low you can walk back along the. beach. Nice cliffs with plenty of caves and boulders to explore and scramble over.

Pillbox formed by a metal turret, which could be rotated through a full 360 degrees, set above a steel and brick-lined pit. It was designed for a machine gun to be fired either through the front loophole which was further protected by shutters, or through the circular opening in the roof in a light anti-aircraft role. According to the manufacturer, it was suitable for Vickers, Bren, Hotchkiss or Lewis machine guns in either a ground defence or anti-aircraft role, or a Boys anti-tank rifle or rifle grenade for ground defence. Weapon change requires selection of appropriate bracket. The army did not favour the design, most were installed at airfields. The turret was designed by A.H. Williams in conjunction with Colonel V.T.R. Ford and Lieutent Williamson. Williams was the Managing Director of Rustproof Metal Windows Company in Saltney, Chester where the turrets were produced.The company had been engaged in war work since 1939, mainly manufacturing ammunition boxes for the Admiralty using a patented galvanising process. The turret had a garrison of two men or, if necessary three men, for whom there were folding seats inside. One man can rotate the cupola which is on roller bearings and requires 15 lb of force to move it. According to the manufacturer, four men could dig the position out and erect the turret ready for firing in two hours and remove it completely in 30 minutes. Cost about £125. Nearly 200 Allan Williams Turrets were made and installed, salvaging of the metal after the war means that only 33 remain. Known survivors include: two at North Weald Redoubt, Essex. One on display at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford (recovered from an Essex village). One at Worbarrow Bay, near Tyneham, Dorset. One at Seacombe, Dorset. One on the seawall at Cley Next The Sea, Norfolk. Two at Cockley Cley Hall, Norfolk. One Bembridge Fort, Isle of Wight. One at Plymstock quarry which has been converted into a blast shelter for quarrying. One at Exmouth seafront, Devon (re-located from docks). One at Builth Wells war memorial, Wales. Two on display at Sywell Aviation Museum, Northampton. One at RAF Dishforth.

Exmouth's clock tower is located in pride of place on the town's sea front Esplanade. It was built in commemorating Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee in 1897. The clock was originally wound by hand by a Council employee,however, the mechanism was replaced and the original workings are now on display in the town museum.

The first section of the sea wall was completed in 1845 at the expense of Lorde John Rolle, which enabled the development of the town as a holiday resort. It measured 1,900 feet in length and was constructed of Devon limestone.
