Geocache Description:



The coastline at Winterton has historically been well known as one of the most hazardous parts of the British coastline due to shifting sand banks. On visiting Winterton-on-Sea in 1722 Daniel Defoe remarked on all the houses of the village being made from the timbers of wrecked ships. The hazardous nature of the coastline at Winterton-on-Sea is marked by its lighthouse whose history extends from James I to the First World War.

Over the second half of the 20th century the coastline at Winterton-on-Sea has changed significantly, resulting in some loss of the dunes. The village (like other parts of the Borough) has a flood siren installed which can be used to warn inhabitants. Erosion and flooding are potential risks to the village of Winterton-on-Sea and the Winterton Dunes; as the area is mostly situated at approximately sea level.
