  • That has really spoiled it for me. Shale cliffs good for little ammonites. Remains of early 20th century shale oil works, now picturesquely overgrown.
  • The beach at Kilve is cut by a series of normal faults with displacements varying strongly along their length which causes folding of the strata. A brick-built oil retort house is believed to be the world’s first structure built for the extraction of oil from shale. http://hypocentre.wordpress.com/2009/02/25/accretionary-wedge-16/
