Salt Subsidence Topography, Cheshire

Image: © Peter Styles Taken: 8 Apr 2007

This undulating topography on the otherwise very flat Cheshire Plain near Wade's Green Hall between Winsford and Nantwich is caused by dissolution of the underlying Triassic salt horizons at what is known as "Wet Rockhead".
