Coastal Erosion at Westbay

Westbay - East Cliffs



The West Dorset coast frome Lyme Regis to Burton Bradstock is a beautifull landscape of cliffs and landslides - sudden landslides cause the the pathways to be diverted slightly inland in the name of safety. The above picture is of the East Cliffs of Westbay

The cliffs are formed by erosion acting over time and by landslides that occur during wet years. Global warming and a rising sea-level will ensure that these processes will continue
