Again taken from the same vantage point as the above photo; from the beach at Eype Mouth, looking along the coast towards the west, this time without the telephoto. It shows the run of cliffs along the coast towards Seatown. The Eype Nodule Bed (ENB) runs along the cliff face some 4-8 feet above the level of the beach. It is only accessible at Hope Corner near to Eype Mouth. The further west you go the more the bed is covered by talus that has slipped from higher beds. The Thorncombe Sands bed (TS) forms a prominent feature along the top of Hope Corner. The beach is a mixture of sand, shingle and pebbles. As you can see... a 'spring storm' was building up just offshore!

Taken from the  beach at Seatown by the River Winniford, looking along the coast towards the east. The cliff climbs up Ridge Cliff, dips slightly and then rises again to Doghouse Hill, behind which is Thorncombe Beacon. The rocks formed by landslips at the base of Doghouse Hill mark the point where the coastline goes inland slightly, forming East Ebb Cove. The base of the cliffs is formed by the Eype Clay Bed (A). The Isle of Wight can be seen in the distance.

Compared to the previous photo, the disappearance of the cliff top coastal path due to landslips can be seen.

Having braved the VERY strong winds, this photo of the cliff at East Ebb and the fallen boulders that block the beach going round the point into East Ebb Cove, was taken from a position towards the top of Ridge Cliff [see X in the previous photo].
