Summary
edit
| Description |
English: The Blakeney Esker SSSI An information board by the footpath informs about this geological feature which was created during the Quaternary period by melt water from glaciers forming a tunnel beneath the ice, and carrying large quantities of sand, gravel and flint that the glaciers had scraped out. When the glaciers retreated these tubes of sediment were left behind leaving the features visible today. The southern end of the Esker (Wiveton Downs) represents one of the very best examples of an Esker formation to be seen anywhere, and this is the reason for its SSSI designation. |
