Ramsholt Cliff

Ramsholt Cliff is a 2.1-hectare (5.2-acre) geological Site of Special Scientific Interest north-west of Ramsholt in Suffolk.

[1][2] It is a Geological Conservation Review site,[3] and it is in the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

[4] This site is very important historically because it was the basis for the distinction of the Pliocene Coralline Crag Formation as a new stratigraphical division by the nineteenth-century geologist, Edward Charlesworth.

The well preserved fossils include several unusual species.

[5] Most of this steeply sloping site on the bank of the River Deben is inaccessible, but a footpath runs along the top and a track leads to a small area of bank.
