The Undercliff overlooking Pinhay Bay, east Devon
Originally uploaded for the Guesswhere UK group.
This is located next to the South West Coast Path which runs through the Axmouth to Lyme Regis Undercliff National Nature Reserve, a conservation area of international importance. This is an area of extensive landslides which have created a jumble of ridges and chasms, now the location of luxurious woodland and special habitats for plants, birds, insects and other animals.
The 'undercliff' is the area between the beach and the back landslide scarp face, which may be as much as 700 metres inland. Mostly this is dense woodland, but occasionally there are more open areas where landslides are still intermittently active, where the larger trees have either been uprooted or have not yet had the chance to mature (as is the case here, viewed from the back scarp face of one of the more recent landslides).
Just visible on the distant horizon is the Isle of Portland, far across the other side of Lyme Bay.
