Reached down a long flight of cliff steps, St Audrie’s Bay is a quiet stretch of the Quantock coast where fossil-strewn lias ledges run out to sea and a small waterfall spills onto the beach at low water. Time your visit with the tide — the sands are cut off when it comes in. The steps start near West Quantoxhead.
