TRiassic coast walks in 2023
Fairlynch geologist Nicky Hewitt led five walks beside Budleigh Salterton beach in the summer of 2023, to explain the geology of our stunning Triassic coastline
The cost was £2.50 per person, with under 16s free, but no unaccompanied children please.
Part of the route included descending Steamer Steps and walking a short distance on the pebble beach to the start of the pebblebed formation in the cliffs, those who preferred waiting on the benches at the top of the steps until the beach party returned and the walk continued eastwards along the seafront promenade.
