The Purbeck coast throughout the ages have been a landscape of industry, from the Roman shale luxury production at Kimmeridge, through centuries of stone quarrying to the modern tourist industry; the heathland too has seen it's share of activity. Below West Hill the landscape is undulous, deeply scared by ravines and massive ominous craters, this is the landscape of former clay production. A landscape now being reclaimed by nature, her envoys having secured tenure, now consolidate their claim to land which was formerly theirs.
