Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Multiple defences Looking towards the start of the access ramp the various sea defences form an impressive barrier: in the foreground there is a zig-zag groyne which has been constructed with steel posts, the wooden revetments can be seen looming over it, at right. The steel sheet pilings seen in the background (at left) prevent the high waves from undermining the cliff face behind. Coastal erosion in the vicinity has been estimated at an approximate rate of one metre/year, which accounts for the loss of a strip of land approximately two kilometres wide since the Roman invasion in 43 CE, resulting in the disappearance into the sea of several medieval villages. |
