Summary edit

Description
English: Chalk rock-fall below Swyre Head The chalk boulders in the foreground have fallen from the cliffs at Swyre Head - more falls are visible in the distance, further along the beach. Swyre Head once projected further south and separated two bays. It has been eroded back so that this stretch of coast has been almost amalgamated into one bay. In the course of this the foot of the headland has been converted into a platform of marine erosion. The headland in the distance is Bat's Head, with its arch (The Bat's Eye). More information at Ian West's internet field guide to the Geology of the Wessex Coast.
