This is looking inland at the coast south of Boggle Hole (the wooded cleft on the right) showing the wave cut platforms of rock.

These layers of Jurassic rock are rich in fossils, especially ammonites. The whole area is a Site of Special Scientific Interest where hammering of the bedrock is not permitted.
