In a line of crumbling cliffs is this section of "managed" coastline.

In 1991 two rock groynes and a rock revetment made from big blocks of Scandinavian rock were built, resulting in the accumulation of a substantial beach between the groynes, halting erosion.

Cliffs to the north are stable but further south the rate of erosion has increased because material which is being carried south is not being replaced (it is trapped within the groynes).
