Looking back towards the cliffs from the rocks at low tide. The bases are slowly being eaten away by the action of the tide forming small caves which will eventually cause the rocks above to collapse. A closer view of the middle one can be seen here, Image Also noticeable is the boulder line immediately below the cliff caused by recent collapses and in turn they will be weathered down until the sea is able to transport them elsewhere.
