We will be moving onto Coastal landscapes later in the year when we explore the idea of Distinctive Landscapes. We will be using some examples of cliffed coastlines. The summer is of course a time when people often visit the coast.
Mr Parkinson, who wrote the chapter in the textbook, included a particular stretch of cliffs in Sidmouth, to the east of the promenade at the end of town. He visits it every year. It's a cliff that's been prone to collapse, and a few months ago, a shed in one of the gardens on Cliff Road fell onto the beach.
This year, Mr. P saw that the beach is now closed off, and is only to be used as an emergency exit from the beach... A sign of changing coastlines, and an increased risk to coastal properties, particularly those on the road along the top of the cliff.
