Valley of Rocks

Heddon's Mouth, North Devon 

After our glorious day of paddling along Devon’s Exmoor coast, we woke up to strengthening winds and choppy seas. As the tide was against us, we spent the morning walking the cliffs and seeking out a rather pleasant Sunday roast at a nearby pub.

When we did finally launch, it was just for the short hop to Lynmouth. The coast just west of Lynmouth is dominated by the Valley of Rocks, a dry valley which might once have carried the flows of the nearby Easy and West Lyn Rivers. The valley is peppered with weird and wonderful rock formations, including granite stacks which tower above the sea.

As we arrived at Lynmouth, so did the rain and the forecast strong winds. It made for a miserably wet night…

About this blog

During 2006-8 I researched, photographed and wrote 'South West Sea Kayaking', a detailed guide to the coasts and islands of South West England; from the Bristol Channel to the Isle of Wight.

'Savage Shores: Britain's Coastal Environment' is the working title of the book currently being researched and written by my wife Heather and myself for Pesda Press. The book aims to explain the climate, geology, landforms, natural history and human history of the coastal environment to walkers, sea kayakers and others enjoying this wonderful part of Britain's natural heritage.

This blog is intended to keep you up to date with our progress and adventures in working on the book.
