The picture at the top: the old sea-mark tower on the cliff at Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex, a world-famous geological location rich in fossils. Dark London Clay and Red Crag shell-banks are topped by the ancient gravel river bed of the Thames and Medway rivers, with a later covering of wind-blown sand from the last cold period of the current Ice Age. The sea defences on the beach below contain exotic rocks; there are excellent geological explanation-boards set on these rocks. The Tower is an art gallery, tea room and superb viewing point.
