I recall a visit with my parents in around 1960!

I'm glad that you qualified the first suggestion by adding a second possibility because I found the first suggestion implausible. I reasoned that if the sea wore away a new channel the rocks would have been softer than those that were and are each side. I reason that there would be some evidence of the soft rocks left today. I believe that your second suggestion is more plausible . Thank you for the video.

EXCELLENT MINI DOCUMENTARY, I'VE TRAVELLED ON THIS WONDERFUL CREATION SEVERAL TIMES, SINCE 1958. IT'S A OFTEN SAID FACT, ' VICTORIAN ENGINEERS WERE NOT JUST BRILLIANT PIONEERS, BUT BRAVE AND DETERMINED TOO. I DIDN'T REALISE THOUGH, HOW COMPLEX IT ALL IS, SO EARNS EVEN MORE PRAISE.

Wonderful video!!!

It has been said that towards the end of the last ice age the river Thames was forced to flow further south due to a glacier blocking it's original course as it crept forever southwards. The glacier extended from the Thames to Cardiff and covered everything in England, Wales and Ireland all the way northwards to the North Pole. It is suggested that the coast of France collided with England and Ireland forming the hills along the south of coast of England and Ireland around that time. My theory is that the collision could have forced the west country closer to Wales or the glacier could have ended closer to North Devon. That being the case the Valley of Rock could have been cut by the melt waters of that massive glacier. As the melt waters subsided the river through the Valley dried up and left the river Lyn much as it is today. In North Yorkshire there are many examples of oddly precariously stacked rocks said to have been dropped as the glacier receded . It is also said that England was separated fro France when the melt waters burst through from the North sea cutting the English channel and also forming the Isle of Wight. I grew up in Lynton and often enjoyed playing in the valley as a child. Thank you for making such an interesting video. .

From Keith Jones ex-pro drummer retired to Cornwall. Went on this with my wife Jean many years ago now. Good ride and a great view also very steep. Keep up the good work on the cliff railway. God Bless, Take Care (K.J.)

Delightful ad. for the L&B - Thank you! I'll have to add it to the front page of our website!

Thanks for this! Lived near this my whole life and one of my favourite places to walk. Great to find out how it may have formed.
