Little Haven north side panorama
Structural geology of Little Haven and The Settlands
The cliffs from Little Haven to Broad Haven (and northward) display a spectacular range of geological structures, folding, faulting and thrusting, mainly in the Lower Coal Measures. The relatively weak mudstone and shale-dominated sequences show much incompetent deformation: tight, thrusted and overturned folds, in contrast to the thicker, stronger, sandstones which have formed relatively open and concentric folds.
In this northerly view, the largely concentric Fox Hole anticline, comprised of orange-brown sandstone is visible left of centre. The core of the anticline has been at least partly formed by coal mining activity.
To the right of the anticline, a tight syncline is developed (below the yellow house), followed by a tight anticline which has a shattered core, due to the 'space problem' of folding these relatively strong rocks. A full geological interpretation is shown in the adjacent photo here:
