Lichen-covered boulders
Large boulders at the top of the shore, which have been positioned to prevent erosion beside the adjacent railway line. Most are covered by the yellow Xanthoria parietina, known as the maritime sunburst lichen or shore lichen. See NS3477 : Maritime sunburst lichen for a close-up view.
