Whitehills Caravan Site

This caravan site is ideally located, with a fine view out to sea and not visible from anywhere else. It is on the site of the former Blackpots tile and brick works, which was founded by Dr Saunders in 1766 and manufactured bricks, roof tiles and field drains using locally sourced red clay. It employed eight or nine men at first, and later up to a dozen in summer. Production of roof tiles ceased in the early 20th century, and bricks after the Second World War. Field drains were produced until 1974, when the works closed. The caravan site opened in 1977.
