Budleigh Salterton, on the south coast of Devon, sits above the most terrifying cliffs on Earth. They are not very high. Even if you do not want to stand under them, they are not very prone to collapse. The horror takes a different form. It’s in the story they tell. Because they capture the moment when life on Earth almost ended.
