The soft rock cliffs above the Severn led to the creation of many caves. Some of these were enlarged and used as dwellings until quite recent times.

Caption For Ilkley, Cow And Calf Rocks 1921

It is well worth the effort to climb up these rocks: you're on top of the world, if a little weary and overheated.

We are looking down on The Square from Middle Row at the bottom of Broad Street. The shot is north-eastwards, along Bridge Street (centre) to the roofs of Coombe Street.

This superb picture shows the magnificent sweep of Nayland Crescent at the western end of town, close to the Royal Sea-Bathing Hospital and the infamous Nayland Rocks.

Rowing boats are drawn up on the small shingle beach on the west side of Charlestown harbour, with the Polmear Island rock behind.

Caption For Falkirk, Union Inn, Port Downie 2005

Caption For Staffa, Fingal's Cave 1903

The monument shows a lifeboatman looking out towards the Nayland Rock where the 'Friend of all Nations' capsized when answering distress signals from the 'Persian Empire'.
