Give any train drivers a wave, and they will wave back! Take care whilst walking close to the beach drop.

Bit slippy in places, even for an e-mtb. But to be expected this time of the year.

This is a good vantage point from which to watch and photograph the trains running between Teignmouth and Dawlish. It's a great rail route, both as a rail traveller and as a walker on the South West Coast Path.
