The River Teign runs left to right at its foot. The bright strip above it is clay waste at the back of the aptly-named White Pit Quarry. Also visible are the blue-green clay sheds strung along the B3193. These features alone fill Image Nearer the camera, centre, are the houses at Mount Pleasant Image, another good vantage point for trying to understand this disrupted landscape.
