The Town Mill

'Tucked away beneath white cliffs, Beer seems to remain at least half a secret. This fishing village, with its flint cottages, cobbled lanes and shingle beach was applauded for its peace and quiet by Which? readers. At the beach you can watch the small fishing fleet unload crab and shellfish. Alternatively, head for the South West Coast Path which runs along the cliff tops for walks.'
