  • Cover photo description:
  • Study of a series of sand ripples made by the outgoing tide at Northam Beach, Devon. Northam Burrows forms part of the newly designated United Nations Biosphere Reserve. It is situated on the western edge of the Taw Torridge Estuary and has its origins in Saxon times as the Manorial Wasteland. The area is approximately 253 hectares comprising a grassy coastal plain with salt marsh, sand dunes and unimproved grasslands. It is also a site of Special Scientific Interest allowing residents of the 'Old manor' rights to graze their animals. At low tide there is a great expanse of sand utilised by walkers and kite boarders. Beneath this is a layer of clay and fossilised ancient woodlands. At various times this and the decaying ribs of an old ship can be seen at extreme low tides. There are varying theories as to this wreck. One is that it is the remains of the 'Salisbury' lost on Northam Burrows in 1750 or the Sally wrecked here in 1769. The other, and possibly more plausible, is that it is the remains of a Pollaca Brigg. This was a sailing boat commonly used to carry coal, limestone and other goods around the North Devon coast and across the Bristol Channel. These were driven ashore at high water and allowed to settle into a scour pit. Perhaps this one was stranded or just abandoned when its useful life was over.
