near to Old Hunstanton, Norfolk, Great Britain

Undermined gabion groyne
Undermined gabion groyne
These groynes have been made out of rocks in wire cages (gabions) to try to capture sand and build up the beach. However, without piles to support it, this one has twisted as a creek has moved towards it. Others have lost their stones as the wire has broken.
