A walking couple rest on a bench at Morte Point on the North Devon Coast. Gazing out to see in the direction of South Wales straight ahead or out to the Atlantic to the right, they sit in peace on a calm summers day. Green grasses carpet the rocks on this clifftop location, a favourite of coastal trekkers and outdoor enthusiasts. Owned by the National Trust, Morte Point is a spectacular headland on the North Devon coast behind the village of Mortehoe near Woolacombe. The treacherous reefs and strong currents at the point, have caused numerous shipwrecks.
