As the evening sun begins to fade, head for Erimitis (00 30 6977 753499; erimitis.com), a swishly sophisticated bar/restaurant, poised on a vertiginous west coast cliff-top cloaked in thick green forest.
Broadchurch is synonymous with and indistinguishable from the land its characters inhabit: the stark, dramatic Jurassic Coast cliffs on the extremities of a close-knit town where everyone knows each other's business and almost anyone could be a suspect.
Our disappointment is compensated for by spectacular scenery as we head for the coast, cliffs glowing pink and yellow in the wan sun and the broad expanse of the isolated beach at Barafundle Bay.
Near Fairy Head along the Coastal Trail, the camps overlook the "Bold Coast" cliffs, Grand Mahan Island, and the Bay of Fundy... so there's that.
Most of the coast is cliff, though there are bays at Tramore, Dungarvan, and Ardmore.
Along this stretch of coast the cliff path winds through numerous valleys.
Then, hugging the coast, past cliffs which drop away suddenly to the sea below, the train heads for the border.
Along the coast, steep cliffs alternate with beaches and dunes.
Along the coast steep cliffs with heights of 25 100 m are often present (Uhlig 1980; Haryono and Day 2004).
Along this coast, the cliffs are layered with compressed strata of oil-bearing shale and blue, yellow and brown Lias embedded with fossils.
The main source of beach material is sediment that originated from the Abukuma and Natori rivers, and partly from the cliff coasts of Joban Coast further south.
