Ryhope Beach, Sunderland - a photo on Flickriver

Ryhope Beach, Sunderland

            My 'local' beach about a mile from where I live. There is another beach closer, but access is rather difficult.
This beach is at Ryhope, a village on the south side of Sunderland and back in the 18th and 19th centuries it was a popular bathing spot, even referred to as a 'bathing resort'.
If you're not from Ryhope, then it's probably off the radar as it isn't really signposted – it certainly doesn't feature photographically as much as other sections of local coastline.
The cliffs here have a base of magnesian limestone that is overlain by deposits of glacial boulder clay, sand and gravels and as such, they are prone to erosion.
The profile of the coast is one of constant change.
In the distance is the pier and lighthouse of Seaham Harbour, which until recently, was not visible from this spot. However, as that promontory in the distance disappears, more and more of the coastline south of here becomes visible.
