Below Easton Wood, south of Covehithe, intermittent exposures of Norwich Crag have yielded shells and important Early Pleistocene mammal remains. The fossil beds may stay hidden beneath beach sand for long periods, but the coast offers a rewarding geological walk when tides and access are favourable. Pliocene, Cliffs and Foreshore, Rating: ♦♦
At Covehithe, rapidly eroding cliffs reveal Early Pleistocene marine sands and clays, with cold-water shells in beds that appear as beach cover changes. Older fossils also occur in loose flint pebbles. The ruined church provides a memorable starting point, but safe access follows current public paths rather than the severed coastal road.
