The Rocks of North Norfolk's Deep History Coast

North Norfolk’s Deep History Coast is 36km of unique coastline from Cart Gap to Weybourne. The rocks beneath this coastline tell the story of the world millions of the years in the past. It’s the story of an ever changing landscape. The landscape that we see today tells us about the environment of years ago. If it wasn’t for the last ice age, some features of the north Norfolk coast wouldn’t be here at all! Our video reveals some amazing facts about this fascinating stretch of coast.
Did you know West Runton beach is the richest source of fossils anywhere in the British Isles from the Pleistocene epoch between 12,000 and 2.6m years ago? And that north Norfolk has produced finds so important that there’s even a period named after Cromer - the Cromerian stage? And did you know that the Cromer Shoal Chalk Bed is a rich and diverse eco system of animals and plants that rivals even the great tropical reefs of the world? Whether you’re interested in geology or just like to see beautiful landscapes, there is so much to discover on north Norfolk’s Deep History Coast, at any time of the year.

"Periods of very warm and very cold climates". Imagine thinking that we can control the climate by giving everyone carbon credits which the poor can sell to the rich so that the rich will not be impacted by net zero! There is no climate crisis.

You need to do more research. It's true the climate changes naturally over geological time, but the speed at which humans are causing the planet to warm is many many times the speed that has ever happened naturally.
