Five narrated stops at the place where the highest tide ever verified was measured: 16.3 metres on the mean, 21.6 in the Saxby Gale of 1869. Walk the ocean floor beneath five storeys of vanished water, stand where three lighthouses have been lost or moved since 1858, and look out to the tidal island the sea cut off from the point — all narrated with the tide tables in hand and the safety window made plain.
Every stop traces back to primary archaeological and heritage records. Not AI-generated guesses. Here's how each narration gets built.
Each stop pulls from OpenStreetMap · 2 features in this old town (the open mapping database used by Apple Maps and Tesla), Wikidata (the peer-reviewed structured-data project), the heritage authority below, and primary historical texts where they exist.
Cross-referenced against Modern excavation publications · academic peer-review.
Every sentence is checked against the verified sources above. Anything that can't be supported gets cut.

Red Triassic sandstone that spends half of every day beneath up to sixteen metres of sea.
Community-built interpretive centre standing in for the lights the eroding point consumed.
The knoll offshore was the mainland site of the first lighthouse — the tide cut the ground out from under it.
A hurricane on a perigean spring tide: 21.6 metres, predicted a year in advance by Lieutenant Saxby.
Resonance between basin and ocean amplifies the Atlantic tide to its world maximum here.
The red flats and eroding cliffs that record the sea's daily work.
Tap "Start Walking Tour" and allow location access. The map shows all 5 narration points.
Follow the suggested route or explore freely. GPS tracks your position. Reach a site and the narration plays automatically.
Each stop has its own narration — tide physics, lighthouse history, and the record books.
Narrations play when you reach each site. No buttons, no track numbers. Walk naturally — the stories find you.
Premium narration that sounds like a documentary. Warm and knowledgeable, not a textbook reading.
Every narration is drafted, cross-checked against primary sources, then passed through a second editorial pass that strips unsupported claims. Dates, names, and citations verified.
See all narration points on the map. Tap any point to hear it early or replay it later.
The whole park, from the light to the low-water line.
Spend an hour or a full day. Skip sites, revisit favourites, take breaks. The tour adapts to you.
Three ways, all built in:
The map-tap option means you can stand anywhere — even at home before you travel — and play any narration. GPS just makes it hands-free while you’re actually walking the site.
No. Use the “Download for offline” button before you go, and the entire tour — audio, maps, narration text — works without any data connection. Tap-to-play and the map both work fully offline. GPS itself doesn’t need data; only the download does.
Two backstops. First, the map shows every site — just tap the marker for the place in front of you. Second, you can manually queue any narration even when GPS is off. The platform never assumes GPS works; it’s the convenience layer, not the gate.
The audio runs ~20 minutes total, but you walk at your own pace. 5 narration points across the site. Most visitors take 2–4 hours; some spread it over multiple visits. Your access lasts 30 days from purchase, so revisit as often as you like.
One purchase covers one device session. Most couples share earbuds and use a single phone — the audio is paced for that. If you want everyone listening on their own device, each person needs their own purchase. We do not gate sharing aggressively; we trust visitors to do the right thing.
Full refund if you never trigger a single narration on-site. Partial refund based on how far you got. See the refund policy for specifics.
