A lasting memory to the effects of climate change which is creating more extreme weather conditions. The end of Teignmouth pier was destroyed in last night's storm and much of its remains have been washed ashore here in Smugglers Cove, Holcombe. Take a walk on the wild side!

If you want to see the remains of the pier take a walk along to Smugglers Cove, Holcombe where a lot of it has come ashore

16 of us went on the bus from to St Marychurch where as arranged we met up with another 4 of our walkers

Several of our walkers hadn’t been in the gardens before - we must do a return visit in 2026 when either the wisteria or dahlias are in bloom !
