Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Shingle beach. The eroded cliffs are only a few metres high here > 749720 and access onto the shingle beach is possible. The cliffs between Weybourne and Sheringham display sections of glacial sediments known as the Contorted Drift. The so-called Wroxham crag, a mixture of sand, clay, silts and stones, is resting on a white base of chalk. Erosion is evident all along the coastline and the track denoting the Norfolk Coast Path/Peddars Way is slowly falling into the sea; the waves of the North Sea undermine the cliffs and cause large sections to tumble onto the beaches. About 2.5 metres (in some sections up to 5 metres) of headland is lost every year. |
