e.g. on the Jurassic Coast around Durdle Door & Lulworth Cove?
It appears to be Crown Estate on the map.

I read here, one needs a permit for the Duchy of Cornwall owned beaches, and I read there, that I don't, unless, privately owned, leased, or SSSI, National Trust, and Bob's Your Uncle, and so forth.

I could lay awake all night (before my holiday in Cornwall) and probably will, wondering if I'd got the gist of what I can or can't do on a beach in Cornwall with a metal detector.

This Cornwall.gov.uk Metal Detecting on Corn ... il Beaches with a glass of salt water, may get me to an untroubled deep sleep, but then again?

I'm going to assume I can, if not leased, privately owned, SSSI, or owned by Bob's your Prince Charming royalty ect, ect ,ect.

Oh, and on it goes

My link to the Cornwall Council official website not playing nice, maybe it's me, or I broke a forum rule there so me either way

But info can easily be found with a Google search should anyone else find useful.
