Morte Point & Stone - North Devon
Morte Point and the treacherous waters surrounding it is sometimes referred to by locals as "the place God made last and the devil will take first". It has a rich history of smuggling and wrecking; the wreckers of Mortehoe were greatly feared by sailors. The surrounding rocks and cliffs, known as the Morte Slates, have distinctive jagged, razor-sharp edges. The currents here are treacherous and have caused a great many ships to be wrecked on the rocks.
