We were delighted @SteveDarlingMP joined our @HeritageFundUK event celebrating @RivieraGeopark in Torquay on Saturday. Excellent talks from our new President Nick Powe and geology supremo Prof Malcolm Hart. Oh and a celebratory @DevonshireAssoc cake - 80 years of S Devon Branch.

Common dragonets are a common, but often overlooked rockpool fish. Their ability to change colour and pattern alongside their speed and shy nature means they often go un-noticed. If you do manage to see one, you're in for a treat, as they're among our prettiest fish. 📷 Jake TB

After some stormy weather the #DevilsCauldron at #LydfordGorge is really boiling. If you want to explore this, and the rest of the gorge filled with temperate rainforest, then plan a trip before Monday 3 November. Over winter we shut for safety and maintenance work.
