Mouthmill Beach

Mouthmill Beach is a secluded spot known for its stunning views and natural attractions. It is not a typical sandy beach, but rather a rocky area that offers a unique coastal experience. The beach is home to the impressive Blackchurch Rock, a notable geological feature that visitors can explore during low tide. However, it's important to check the tide times as the area around the rock is inaccessible during high tide.

Getting to Mouthmill Beach involves a walk from the National Trust Brownsham car park. The journey takes approximately 45 minutes and can be a bit challenging due to the terrain and the number of steps. However, visitors often describe the walk as well worth the effort, not only for the beach itself but also for the beautiful views along the way. The path leads through woods and fields, offering scenic views of the sea. There is also an alternative, more gentle route up the valley for those who prefer a less strenuous walk.
