South West Coast Path in the fog, above Scrade This is the view above <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7473452">SX1598 : Footbridge over stream and waterfall at Scrade</a>. The coastal path descends via a series of zigzags, clearly intended to reduce erosion but also providing a much safer descent than the direct route close to the cliff edge. The view from the edge would look something like <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/501299">SX1598 : Coast path at Scrade Water</a>, if we could see it.
