Skipsea Withow Mere, Holderness coast, East Yorkshire
Originanally uploaded for the Guesswhere UK group.
A rather old photo taken with an early digital camera, hence rather poor resolution.
This is the Skipsea Withow Mere and the location is the Withow Gap on the Holderness coast in East Yorkshire. The rapidly eroding low cliffs have cut a section through the Withow Mere which is a former (post glacial) lake formed in an ice-hollow on the till ('boulder clay') surface. The lake became filled with both drifted and in-situ vegetation which accounts for the peat we see today.
The grey pebbly deposit in the foreground is the Skipsea Till, a 'boulder clay' of debris bulldozed by the Devensian ice. Were it not for the glacial till, the area of Holderness would not exist and would be completely under the sea.
The Skipsea Withow Mere is a SSSI.
