Memorial plaque at Blacknor
Near the top of the cliff and facing west. I have been unable to find more information about this. The cliffs here are used for rock climbing but the age of Geoff, 68, does not suggest a climbing accident. The plaque might be bronze; the fixing screws unfortunately are steel. The inscription reads:-
IN MEMORY OF
GEOFF
LOVING HUSBAND
DAD & GRANDAD
FOREVER LOVED

Cliffs above Mutton Cove
This view is from a large stone wall on the precipitous edge of an old quarry above Mutton Cove. The figure on the Portland Stone cliff gives an idea of scale. The landslides on the left are where the cliffs have collapsed over the Kimmeridge Clay.
