The Spittles landslide east

Another view of The Spittles landslide near Charmouth, Dorset, this time looking east. Golden Cap is visible on the distant skyline.

The Spittles is a wilderness of extensive, active, multiple landslides in Lower Lias (Lower Jurassic) shales, overlain by the Upper Greensand (Cretaceous) which forms the inland golden cliff to the leftt.

In the foreground is a recent rotational landslide. The sloping grassy surface in the foreground was originally horizontal and level with the grass on the left. This section has slipped downwards and rotated anticlockwise. The yellow sand cliff in the left foreground is the landslide back scar.
