“Heritage and Tourism Minister David Evennett was in Seaton on Friday to see East Devon’s newest tourist attraction – its Jurassic’s wildlife garden. [Note: No mention here of “Seaton JURRASIC” of which the garden is a part]
While the resort’s main £4 million visitor centre [again no name] was formally opened in April by The Princess Royal, its outdoor interpretation areas were delayed by the exceptionally wet weather in the winter and early spring.
As part of his visit, Mr Evennett was also given a tour of Seaton beach to see the UNESCO World Heritage site where he heard how the area is being managed and protected.
He was then shown around the Beer Quarry Caves and discussed the future plans for the site.
Mr Evenett said: “The Jurassic Coast is one of the world’s most important landscapes and one of our country’s natural gems.
“It is wonderful to see how well this unique coastline is being looked after so that it continues to attract vital tourism to the region, while ensuring it is protected for generations to come.
“Seaton Centre [JURASSIC! wrong name again] is a fantastic example of a tourist attraction that is fun but educational too.”

Anyone wanting to find Seaton JURASSIC on Tripadvisor from this press release will need some lateral thinking.
Obviously put together by a press officer in London who probably has no idea where Seaton is!
