Upper Pit

Cliff

What is recorded here

Upper Pit is a sea cliff composed primarily of Cretaceous-age Chalk, formed through differential erosion along the coast. It is notable for its exposure of near-horizontal chalk beds, which provide a local example of the geological formations characteristic of southern England’s Upper Cretaceous deposits.
