Coastal erosion of sea cliffs at Happisburgh, Norfolk UK.

Looking north west from the end of Beach Road, Happisburgh. The soft sedimentary rock of the cliffs is seeing some of the fastest coastal erosion in Norfolk. Several houses on Beach Road have already been lost to the sea and many of those remaining are in a precarious position. Some of the 1950s sea defenses, built to protect the village from further erosion, can be seen along the beach.

The tower of the 15th century St.Mary's Church can be seen in the background.
