Bat's Hole natural arch
Bat's Hole natural arch
This small natural arch and wave-cut notch are evidence of active erosion of the chalk headland named Bat's Head. Eventually the arch will collapse leaving a stack and erosion of the headland will continue. The chalk strata are vertical here - as shown by the seams of flints.
