Tunstall Pastures

Cliff Crumble The incessant submission to the sea of the Holderness cliffs continues apace - particularly at this time of the year.  A photo of the cliffs in this square taken by a previous Geograph submitter in 2005, shows a road running parallel to the cliff edge.  A rough estimate means that the road will now be at least 50 metres "over the cliff" in just the 16 years that have gone by since then!

Cliff top path The road which even recent OS maps mark has been lost to the sea. Even this path is perilously close at times. Much of it will probably be gone after next winter.

Coast road to Tunstall The short coast road to Tunstall is closed, due to it being a tad close to the cliff edge. It's still in use as people drive around the bollards!

Hogsea Lane, east of Hilston The North Sea cliffs just north of Hogsea Lane. The fire hydrant sign suggests there was once some kind of building not too far away.

Road to Monkwith The title is inaccurate: neither Monkwith nor the road to it exists any more - victims of the age-old process of coastal erosion. Just ahead of this point there is a road block and a few yards beyond that the road has disappeared over the cliff.
