Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Pondfield Cove and Worbarrow Tout Looking down into Pondfield Cove from the cliff path at Worbarrow. The isthmus beyond is called Worbarrow Tout - "tout" meaning lookout place. The northwards dip of the rock strata is obvious in the west and east cliffs of the cove.
The cove itself has formed as the sea has nibbled along a north-south fault. The origins of the gap are still debated - see Ian West's excellent Geology of the Wessex Coast website: http://www.soton.ac.uk/~imw/worbar.htm#streams . Eventually the sea will break through the gap to Worbarrow Beach on the far side, leaving Worbarrow Tout as an island - a larger version of the Mupe Rocks on the far side of the bay (just about visible in the distance). The Isle of Portland is just visible in the hazy far distance. The concrete blocks at the head of the cove are anti-tank defences, relics from the Second World War. |
