Eroding cliff Interesting deposits revealed by the coastal erosion. Compare to <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/71736">SW3530 : Climate history revealed!</a> from Cornwall. Here the raised beach and glacial deposits are the other way around. This is because the raised beach is a recent feature, raised by the isostatic rebound of the ground after the weight of the ice sheet was removed by the end of the last glacial period.
