OS Explorer Map 140 Quantock Hills and Bridgwater
This map is part of the Ordnance Survey's Explorer series designed to replace the old Pathfinder map series. At 1:25,000 scale this detailed map shows a host of attractions including gardens which are open to the public, nature reserves and country parks as well as all official footpaths, bridleways, roads and lanes. Other facilities covered include: camping and caravan sites, picnic areas and viewpoints, selected places of interest, rights of way information for England and Wales, National Trail and Recreational Path routes, and selected tourist information. The series is aimed mainly at the experienced map user but can be used by tourists and locals alike.
Just east of Watchet, East Quantoxhead and Kilve beaches are sand and rock beaches with interesting rock formations and many fossils. The beaches are backed by very unstable cliffs. Local facilities include the welcoming Chantry Tea Rooms, toilets (just west of the path to the beach, near the shale retort) and litter bins. The car park is located about half a mile from the coast. A lovely walk from the village to the beach is just one of many walks in the area. To the east lies Lilstock and the buildings of the Hinckley Point Power Station.
