Description
This amazing natural double sea arch, Blackchurch Rock is a dominant geological feature of the local landscape and can be seen clearly from the coastal path. I would estimate it is about 60 feet (over 18m) high and was formed from the erosion of ancient cliffs and headlands. This stretch of coast comprises of some incredibly folded, upturned and faulted layers of rock that were subject to immense pressures during ancient geological and volcanic events following the meeting of tectonic plates. There are also impressive hanging valleys nearby where waterfalls plunge to beaches where coastal erosion has terminated their natural course. Mouthmill is west of Clovelly in North Devon and near to Hartland Point. Access can be gained through the lovely Brownsham Woods which is full of bluebells in the spring. Historically the small and relatively unknown cove was used for smuggling and also for importing lime from Wales to improve soils. There is a derelict lime kiln just behind the beach. Taken in late September.
