Well this place was the second place we went to during our Roadtrip to Southwest England. We walk like thirty minutes from the parking to get there. We were just so lucky that it has a very good sunny weather that day. It was still cold and so windy but atleast it was sunny, the long walk was enjoyable. hehe
The old Harry Rocks. OMG this place is really cool. It's so beautiful, the white cliffs is just stunning. I been to White Cliffs of Dover before but this Old Harry Rocks for me is amazing, both scary as usual but just OMG OMG very beautiful, how the cliffs form like that. It's not just plain cliff, it has its own beauty and structure.
Old Harry Rocks are three chalk formations, including a stack and a stump, located at Handfast Point, on the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset, southern England. They mark the most easterly point of the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The chalk of Old Harry Rocks used to be part of a long stretch of chalk between Purbeck and the Isle of Wight, but remained as a headland after large parts of this seam were eroded away. As the headland suffered hydraulic action (a process in which air and water are forced into small cracks by the force of the sea, resulting in enlarging cracks), first caves, then arches formed. The tops of the arches collapsed after being weakened by rainfall and wind, leaving disconnected stacks. One of these stacks is known as Old Harry. Old Harry's Wife was another stack which was eroded through corrosion and abrasion, until the bottom was so weak the top fell away, leaving a stump. Hydraulic action is the main cause of erosion (sheer force of the wave) that damaged the rock and caused it to fall away. (Wikipedia)
Below are the photos i took.
