A short multicache on public footpaths across National Trust land at Orcombe Point in Exmouth, which forms the western gateway to the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.
The footpath passes close to the cliff edge in places, so if you have children and/or dogs with you please keep them on a tight rein.
