As well as the three small caves we visited, there is another one in the cliff face below the prominent outcrop on the clifftop ahead. The limestone bedrock of the beach has eroded into sharp crests and points.

The uppermost of the three entrances at SS42198724. Taller than the others, it would be a tight squeeze to get into (I didn’t try).
