    Discover Photographers from top: John Lacey, Julia Amies-Green and Bob Small The Seafood CoastPhotographer: © English Heritage Discover The Seafood Coast Torbay and the English Riviera • Torquay, Paignton and Brixham Fresh fish, a funicular railway and Stone Age caves at Babbacombe MORNING Start your day in Torquay. From here you can either Babbacombe drive or hop on the No.22 bus for the two-mile journey (3.2km) to one of Britain’s highest clifftop promenades at Babbacombe. Soak up staggering sea views on the fairly strenuous 2.2 mile (3.5km) Babbacombe and Oddicombe Walk. Swap the steep descent from Lady Mount Temple for a ride on the historic funicular railway, and, from Oddicombe beach, gaze up to the mighty compressed layers of sandstone and limestone. Scour Babbacombe Beach for curled shell fossils, then climb the coast path through woodland, pausing for local ales and line-caught seafood at the Cary Arms. AFTERNOON If you want to wallow in the epitome of coastal chic, Kents Cavern linger at the Cary Arms for a soothing spa treatment and a sundowner by the sea. Otherwise, dig deeper into the wonders of this UNESCO Global Geopark at the enthralling Kents Cavern, just a 20 minute stroll (one mile / 1.6km) or a few minutes on the No.22 bus, from the starting point of your walk. In this labyrinth of Stone Age caves, you can discover evidence of ancient humans and clap eyes on 400-million-year-old stalagmites and stalactites. Backtrack to Babbacombe and finish the day with a hearty portion of award-winning fish and chips from Hanbury’s.

    TRINITY HOUSE PLANNING FOR CLIMATE CHANGE PROGRESS REPORT 2016 Understanding climate risk | Understanding uncertainties | Action plan review Addressing barriers and understanding interdependencies | Monitoring and evaluating | Opportunities and benefits Image: Longships Lighthouse by Tim Stevens in 2008 1.0 Background 1.1 As a major infrastructure provider, Trinity House participated in the first round of Climate Change Adaptation Reporting, producing its first ‘Climate Change Adaptation Report’ in 2011. It has now been invited by DEFRA to provide an ‘adaptation progress update’ on this report, focussing on how our understanding of climate change implications has developed and what actions have been implemented to address those risks. This document comprises Trinity House’s response to that invitation. DEFRA document ‘How to report your progress in planning for climate change’ has informed the structure of the report. 2.0 Understanding climate risk 2.1 The process of researching and putting together the Climate Change Adaptation Report was invaluable in developing Trinity House’s understanding of climate change predictions. It gave us the opportunity to examine the potential impacts of climate change on our organisation and to ensure that ‘climate change awareness’’ was an integral part of our planning and decision making process. 2.2 Because of its value to Trinity House, we have taken the opportunity presented by this adaptation progress reporting process to review our Climate Change Adaptation Report. The 2015 report is produced in the context of changing data on climate change. Since this first round report, the IPCC AR5 has superseded IPCC AR4. Whilst it would be fair to say that the overall thrust of this fifth assessment report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, shows that the effects of climate change are likely to be more extreme than previously thought, it is not considered that this new data is material to our ability to pinpoint organisational vulnerability.
