NB The inside of the Pillbox has been used as dumping ground and someone has been burning stuff in here. The floor is littered with rubbish and a lot of soot. It is highly recommnded that you do not enter it or allow your dogs to go in. The cache is NOT inside.
Placed with the kind permision of the landowner - Mr D.L. Acess to the cache is obtained by walking from the South: Either along the cliff top from "The end of the road", or along the Western side of the hedge from the large barn on Seaside Road. From the North, along the cliff top from the stream called the Runnel (past The Forgotten Bridge). None are a public right of way but are much used by dog walkers and beach fishermen and allowed by the landowner.
This Second World War Pillbox is the last one along this section of the coast to be still above the beach. It was built as part of the second line of defence. The first line went into the sea many years ago, and the next pillbox along - a few hundred metres North by the Runnel - fell off the eroded cliff this Winter.
This Pillbox is next to a Royal Observer Corps underground monitoring room (long since filled in, but with bits of it still sticking out of the ground) and is unusual in that there is evidence of a gun mounting on top of it.
