Click on the links in blue for more details. Leaving Lyme Regis Cobb where the French Lieutenant's Woman gazed out to sea you enter the tortured landscape of the Undercliff, a vast 7-mile landslip with unique vegetation and wildlife. This takes you to the Axe Estuary and Seaton with a brief stretch of red sandstone before a return to the flint and chalks of Beer with its fishing boats that land on the shingle beach bringing fresh fish. Another landslip section, the Hooken Undercliff, brings you to the beach at Branscombe and its pretty inland valley village. As you struggle up and down the steep climbs spare a thought for participants in the annual Grizzly a 20-mile challenge on these hills, through prepared muddy sections and even along the shingle beach. It was here too that in January 2007 the Napoli was beached provoking a frenzy of scavenging, national headlines, local uproar and many extra visitors. Today only the Napoli's anchor recalls the event. More steep climbs bring you to Sidmouth home of an acclaimed annual summer folk festival. Crumbling red sandstone cliffs dominate but after one more steep climb to Peak Hill the going becomes easier. After the impressive red sea stacks of Ladram Bay you reach the wildlife haven of the Otter Estuary and the calm of Budleigh Salterton. With Dartmoor visible ahead on a clear day you approach the Exe Estuary past the enormous Sandy Bay caravan park and reach the Geoneedle at Orcombe Point, the official end of the Jurassic Coast. The bustling resort of Exmouth marks journey's end.
