Beach Clean at Greenaleigh Sand, Minehead

An “extreme” beach clean at Greenaleigh Sand, Minehead with PlasticFreeExmoor

We will be walking to the beach via Culver Cliff Wood. This is approximately a 30 to 45 minute walk with some steep ascents and descents and stiles to climb over. Once there we will spend an hour and a half collecting rubbish that has been washed up or left on the beach. Most of the beach is made up of rocks and large pebbles and can be hard to walk on.

At the end of the beach clean we will sort the debris found so that as much as possible can be recycled. The ocean debris that we find will be collected from Greenaleigh Farm by one of the Exmoor National Park Rangers. Collecting bags will be provided but those attending are advised to bring their own gloves. A penknife can also be useful for cutting tangled fishing lines. Stout footwear is advised and those attending are welcome to bring their own drinks and refreshments.

Meet by the entrance to Blenheim Gardens opposite the junction of Blenheim Road and Martlet Road (SS 969 463, TA24 5PY). There is free parking along Blenheim Road and Martlet Road

Places are limited so if you would like to take part in the beach clean or require further information, please email with your name and contact details.
