I live in north norfolk, a fairly 'young' coast in that this was all land to Europe only 6000 years ago (Doggerland), so we get loads of coastal erosion here - houses and even villages seem regularly lost to the sea.

Fascinating going for cliff side walks and seeing what has changed. Hope my house lasts...

Some kind of a map would help me visualize this.
