Brighton to Newhaven Cliffs, Protected chalk cliffs between Brighton and Newhaven, United Kingdom.
The Brighton to Newhaven Cliffs extend for six kilometers along the southern coast of England, featuring white chalk formations and diverse ecological habitats.
The cliffs contain significant fossil deposits from the upper Santonian and lower Campanian periods, providing extensive geological records spanning millions of years.
Scientists and researchers frequently visit Black Rock to study the Quaternary stratigraphy, making it a center for geological research since the 1870s.
Natural England maintains nine monitoring units across the 165-hectare site, conducting regular assessments of the geological and biological features.
The cliff formations display frost involution structures from the last glacial period, creating distinctive U-shaped patterns visible throughout the chalk surface.
