avatarwin task3 weeks agoThe outer edge of Exmouth beach cliff area holding Orcombe point and spectacular nature beauty. Buttercup fields spreading on miles. You can have Exmouth beach view from top as well. For going up you can follow SW coast path up high. Very nice trail for a walk at Jurassic coast. Orcombe Point is marked by the Geoneedle which was unveiled by Prince Charles in 2002. This area has 185 millions years history of fossils. Worth for a walk
avatarAndrew Jamesa month agoDrove to foxholes car park and walked to orcombe point .very windy exposed.carried on to sharp point then turned back to start but carried on to exmouth town passed life boat station. Nice day
avatarLuke Daniela year agoThis was truly a magnificent expression of God’s beauty in nature. It’s an incredibly gorgeous place to visit and the atmosphere is one of tranquility. Dogs jump around and into the sea, with people from all ages, countries and walks of life enjoying a very cordial experience with other sea lovers. We were very impressed and are looking forward to coming again. Highly recommended!
