More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You tap the screen and the map unfurls: a scatter of pins across wind-swept cliffs, secret coves and sheep-lined lanes. Sea spray dares you toward headlands where surf hammers sandstone and the cliffs keep time with the tide. The app nudges you inland too — to marshes, farm tracks and a village green where the quiz waits.
