Walk 21 Return to Steephill Cove

This is a repeat trip of my April walk to Steephill Cove. On that day the ravages of the winter storms could still be seen in the broken timbers and debris on the beach. Now, on a scorching hot day in July with the schools just broken up, it is a much livelier scene.

On the cliff top at La Falaise is the chalk lettered sign.

Ventnor coast
Along the cliffs were clumps of wild marjoram.

Bunches of rock samphire stand out against the grey rock armour that protects the coast.
