Lengths of entangled ropes and fishing nets can often be found adorning the bare skeleton of the wooden revetment > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1034068. Wave action is undermining the cliff face and the sea is eating away at the layer of dark clay which forms the cliff base - crumbling and eventually toppling onto the beach. The layers above are slipping downwards, taking all vegetation with them. The exposed cliff face is easy prey for wind and weather > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1034424.
