Cliff Erosion

Winter storms take their toll...

Cliff Erosion

Winter storms wash the land away.  The East Yorkshire coast is slowly disappearing into the sea.  Two miles have disappeared since Roman times

No matter how hard people try to hold back the sea,  it just doesn't happen in the end.  The sea always wins! Would have thought we learned that lesson with king Canute. Recent winter storms have caused serious damage to home made sea defences on Yorkshire's east coast. Finally time to let the sea reclaim what it wants.

Here be Beavers.

Or at least, were........ Photo above shows an 8,000 year old beaver dam, exposed by coastal erosion on the East Yorkshire coast. Tooth cut marks can be seen in some of the pieces of wood, and there are well preserved hazel nuts, alder cones (very fragile) and pieces of bark. The beavers did not live by the sea, oh no - at the time they were building, the coastline would have been at least two or three miles away. And we are still losing land to the sea today.
