A very nice spot on a summer's afternoon on the banks of the River Aln in Alnmouth, Northumberland.
Such a great place to take a rest and enjoy the view so I was lucky to find it temporarily unoccupied.
On the far side of the river is Church Hill, once the location of St Waleric's Chapel, it faced gradual decline after the reformation, not mention erosion of the hill itself.
However, in the early 1800's a storm saw the sea brake through the low-lying stretch of land between the village and the hill and the course of the River Aln was diverted, effectively cutting off access.
According to Bede, Archbishop Theodore presided over a synod on the hill in 684, in the presence of King Ecgfrith of Northumbria and whereupon St Cuthbert was elected Bishop of Lindisfarne.

California has lost more than half of its coastal sand dunes, first-ever assessment reveals

A study conducted by UC Santa Barbara researchers and collaborators has found that California has lost more than half of its coastal dune systems. The researchers' assessment—the first of its kind for the California coast—estimates that 60% of dune systems that existed from 1850 have been lost, due to a combination of urban development, land-use changes and erosion.
