Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Gaulter Cottages across Gaulter Gap The steps in the foreground lead down from the car park to a bridge across the stream that flows down from Kimmeridge into the bay. The left turn leads down to the beach in Kimmeridge Bay, the right turn leads up more steps to Gaulter Cottages. The practice of spreading shale-ash (and the contents of cess-pits) on plots as a fertiliser was called 'gaulting', and gave the Gaulter Gap its name. The shale from the local cliffs was burnt as fuel, known as 'Kimmeridge coal'.
