Morston Cliff is a 1-hectare (2.5-acre) geological Site of Special Scientific Interest east of Wells-next-the-Sea in Norfolk, England.[1][2] It is a Geological Conservation Review site.[3] It is part of Blakeney National Nature Reserve,[4] which is managed by the National Trust,[5] and of the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.[6]
This key Pleistocene site has the only interglacial deposit of a raised beach in East Anglia. It is believed to be Ipswichian, dating to around 125,000 years ago, and is overlain by glacial deposits of the late Devensian Hunstanton Till.[7]
The Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path go through the site.
