More about this scene
We are looking eastwards from the blocked mouth of the River Char, which ends its journey to the sea by having to break through a ridge of shingle (right). The coastal footpath from Charmouth (left) crosses to a shelter on Evan's Cliff (centre), but is then subject to recurrent problems as it crosses the landslip zone at Cain's Folly (central skyline). Here a Royal Air Force coastal radar station slipped down the cliffs on 14 May 1942. Its concrete and brick remains are entombed in the undercliff. The distant cliff, towards Bridport, is Thorncombe Beacon (towards top right).
