Seatown Ridge Cliff and beach

Seatown Ridge Cliff and beach
Ridge Cliff, east of Seatown in Dorset, is capped by the golden Upper Greensand Formation (Cretaceous). This is in turn underlain by Lower Jurassic strata, including the Eype Clay at the base of the cliff. The latter is quite prone to landslides and mudflows.

The afternoon sun bathes everything in a golden light which together with the blue sky is intensified by a polarising filter.
