The beach at St. Audries Bay
The beach at St. Audries Bay
The stone outline in the foreground was the end of a long promenade, which extended from the cliffs (part of the wall is still visible on the cliffs, towards the left). Directly above this wall is a small grotto, which is in the process of collapsing, due to erosion.
See LinkExternal link (Archive LinkExternal link ) for a 1903 picture of the beach, showing the promenade and the grotto. Also see LinkExternal link (Archive LinkExternal link ) for some old maps of the site; the promenade was labelled 'The Slip'.
