Originally uploaded for the Guesswhere UK group This is a view of the saltmarsh and Ribble estuary at low tide, taken from the sea front at Lytham, Lancashire. Winter Hill near Bolton is just visible on the skyline.

View eastwards from near Carmel Head, Anglesey. These old mine remains are part of a set of old workings along a mineralised fault line just south of Trwyn y Gader (Carmel Head), on the north-west tip of Anglesey. I lived on a farm near here for 2 months in the summer of 1972 whilst carrying out my undergraduate student mapping project. The Wylfa Magnox nuclear power station at Cemaes Bay is visible in the distance.

View south from Erringham Hill towards Mill Hill and Shoreham, Sussex. The River Adur is just visible on the right.

In geological circles, these blobby rocks are famous here. They are part of the Gwna Mélange, a chaotic mass of diverse rock fragments, boulders and rafts, some of them 100s of metres across, all set in a fine-grained schist matrix. The age is now thought to be Cambrian and the mélange is an example of an olistostrome , a rock assemblage thought to represent a huge submarine debris flow (or several debris flows) into a deep ocean trench which existed here at that time. The Gwna Mélange crops out on much of NW Lleyn, Bardsey Island and over considerable parts of N and W Anglesey.
