Summary edit
DescriptionAccess to the beach - geograph.org.uk - 799637.jpg |
English: Access to the beach. Access to the beach, extending outwards and seawards for a couple of metres, from the height of the clifftop, before flights of steel steps lead down onto the beach > 799624; the staircase was erected after the concrete access ramp a short distance further east was destroyed in 2003 > 799611. Erosion is evident all along this coastline and signs, warning walkers of getting too close to these dangerous cliffs, have been placed along the clifftop.
Having lost its access to the sea, the lifeboat is now based a mile down the coast at Cart Gap but the RNLI station is still manned by volunteers most of the time, and open for teas and the sale of souvenirs > 799615. After the devastating floods in 1953, where 300 people lost their lives, the first sea defences were built and later extended, using greenheart and jarrah wood, combined with steel, for the groynes and revetments. The rate of erosion decreased but despite numerous repairs, large portions of the revetments have been destroyed during the last 40 years and a large bay has formed, due to cliff erosion, to the south of the village, which is on record as the first place in England where an average of two metres of cliff is lost per year. Lacking the funds for costly repairs, local authorities have decided to let nature run it's course. |
