Geocache Description:

A walk along the South West Coastpath to a lovely viewpoint.

WARNING - Walk is along/near cliff edge in places. BE CAREFULL

From the top there are great views out to sea and if you came up Route 1 (see below) you would have seen all the famous Ladram Bay Stacks. They all have names.
The only one visible from the top and the tallest is called Big Picket Rock. Then working back to Ladram Bay they are Lost World, Bonetti Tower, The Razor, Tower of Babel, Lady Ladram and Chocolate Finger.

There are three ways of reaching this cache ranging in difficulty and views. Please say in the logs which route you choose.

1. HARD CLIMB but BEST VIEWS (and the Stacks). Park at Ladram Bay Holiday Park N50 39.640 W03 16.805 and follow the coastpath towards Sidmouth.
2. MEDIUM CLIMB and OK VIEWS (but no Stacks). Park at Peak Hill c/park N50 40.677 W03 15.686. Cross road and head to Coastpath then follow it towards Ladram Bay.
3. EASY CLIMB and NO VIEWS. Park on roadside near SeaView Farm N50 39.814 W03 16.932 and follow Bars Lane to coastpath.

WARNING - You are very near the cliffs in the cache area but don't need to go right up to the edge - BE CAREFULL.
