Eastington Farm

This lovely old farmhouse was built in the 17th century.

When the East India ship, Halsewell, was blown onto rocks
near Winspit in 1786 a member of the crew managed to get
ashore and climb up to Eastington Farm to raise the alarm.
Eighty six lives were saved that night.

Keates Stone Quarry. The Keates family have quarried this

area for 300 years, but 145 million years ago this land was a
shallow watering hole for dinosaurs who left their footprints
in the soft mud. It dried out and solidified into rock. The
prints remained hidden until Kevin Keates and Trev Haysom
were working in the quarry in 1997 and recognised the

fossilised dinosaur tracks. They show up more clearly after
rain.
