Pillbox overlooking Taddiford Gap
View from the coast path at Taddiford Gap towards a Second World War pillbox on higher ground. The 'dragons teeth' anti-tank defences at the gap have now succumbed to erosion of the cliffs. This concrete relic, about 250 metres from the shore, should be safe for some time yet.
