Broad Haven (south) to Stackpole Head Immediately inland from Box Bay in the previous photo is the 'Sandy Pit' doline; a large karst solution hollow. There is a connection with the sea at the base, so marine erosion has probably contributed to the enlargement of the hollow. The name 'Sandy Pit' possibly refers to a partial filling with post-glacial blown sand (subsequently largely exploited and excavated?) The sea stack of Church Rock is visble in the distance to the left of centre.

This panoramic view shows the large size of the doline and consists of three landscape photos stitched together with Photoshop software.

Originally uploaded for the Guesswhere UK group. This is Patching Pond, near Worthing, Sussex and is a good example of a doline (sinkhole or solution hollow). The bedrock is Chalk, but covered at this location by a thin veneer of solifluction deposits ('Head').
