Kilve, Somerset

Last Sunday, we ventured to the North Coast of Somerset

 to a small hamlet at Kilve, which is situated on 

 the edge of the Quantock Hills

& close to the Exmoor National Park.

At the end of Sea Lane, is the car park which

 will take you to the beach and coastal paths.

The beach is of particular interest due to

the exposed rock layering and fossils.

The layers are a composition of limestone

and shale.

The beach's appearance is very jurassic.

The collection of fossils is prohibited,

so that everyone can enjoy these delights when discovered.

Due to the very windy weather,

 and the eractic sizes of pebble/rock on the beach, 

it was actually safer to walk the coastal path

before descending again to the beach,

 although you definitely had to be aware

 that erosion of the cliffs was still making it necessary to be cautious.

Despite the rough  winds,

it was a lovely walk, although after being there for a while,

you did notice the chill that had set in.

The flask of coffee awaiting us

 on the return to the car was very welcoming!
