More about this scene

This view shows Eype Mouth, looking westwards to what is now a National Trust skyline, with Ridge Cliff and Doghouse Hill rising into the 508-feet summit of Thorncombe Beacon (centre). Below, from Hope Corner to the stream that trickles beside the rowing boat, the beach was also donated to the Trust by playwright Robert Cedric Sherriff in 1966. The lands of Downhouse Farm ended beside the chalet and the boathouse, which was used by the Warren family in the 1930s. Its place in history was the disappearance out to sea from here of William Powell MP, the member for Malmesbury, in a run-away balloon after an aborted clifftop landing on 10 December 1881.
