Hooken Beach at Branscombe, Devon (Explored)

            At Branscombe in east Devon the 400 feet-tall cliffs on this part of the Jurassic Coast are composed of chalk dating from the Cretaceous period, and the much older red Devon sandstone, which lies underneath this, will only be seen in the dramatic cliffs further to the west. Within the undercliff area on the left of the picture is an old "adit", or horizontal entrance, to the underground stone quarries at Beer which date back to Roman times. Limestone from here has been used in several cathedrals and numerous churches. The stone is initially quite soft to cut but hardens substantially when exposed to the air.
