| Description: | The Purbeck Limestones being of a tough nature are able to offer a stubborn resistance to the wind and the waves. Originally these beds were deposited in a horizontal sheet but during the great volcanic disturbances that took place in this country during Miocene times these beds were forced up into great folds which run East and West, the tops havings been worn away the sides stand up as if placed on end. |
