Mappleton

Mappleton's narrow beach sits dramatically at the base of rapidly eroding boulder clay cliffs, creating a constantly changing landscape that fascinated geologists and offers sobering lessons about coastal erosion. The small village perched precariously on the clifftop provides a poignant example of Britain's vulnerable coastline, while the beach below offers excellent opportunities for fossil hunting and beachcombing. Access requires care due to ongoing erosion, but the dramatic setting and geological interest make it a fascinating destination for those interested in coastal processes.
