Common sense when collecting at all locations should be taken and knowledge of the tide times should always be noted. Care should be especially taken at Chippel Bay headlands, the sea will reaches tghis head at high tide, if you venture past this point, return in good time. Care must also be taken of falling rocks, these are frequent due to the alternating Hard Limestone and Shale of the Blue Lias. |
