More about this scene

In 1892, there were acres of thatch to see in Beer, as well as unsurfaced roads. Today, the place is still delightful, and has better roads. This was a typical Devon seaside community where smuggling was endemic. One of Devon's most notorious smugglers, Jack Rattenbury, lived locally two centuries ago.
