Thornwick Nab

Highlight • Viewpoint

Heavily eroded ridge. Falling off would have serious consequences.

Smugglers' Caves at Thornwick Bay

Highlight • Natural Monument

Lovely and quiet cove, features chalk cliffs, plenty of rock pools for the kids to go in search of various sea creatures, and for the adults its steeped in history of smugglers and that caves for hiding in, and a sea arch created by years of erosion. A small cove but plenty of sights and activities, just be careful of the tides and of the slippy rocks.

North Landing Beach and Cliffs

Highlight • Viewpoint

Small cove of beach, not the quietest place along the East coast, theres a pub, and a cafe at the top of the cliffs for a refreshment break. The cove was recently made a little more popular due to scenes from the new dads army film being filmed on the beach.

View over Thornwick Bay

Highlight • Viewpoint

Lovely view over the bay - look for the smugglers caves around the cliff base. There's a nice cafe by the clifftop here although just note that it's cash only.
