Informations supplémentaires

In 1991, sea defences were built in order to protect Mappleton from intense sea erosion that had threatened it. The cliffs had been eroded at a rate of between 8 and 11 yards (7 and 10 m) per year on average. The £2 million project created two large rock groynes to trap materials that are carried in the waves during longshore drift as well as revetments to break the waves. The success of this project has created a larger higher sandy beach for Mappleton, and the erosion has slowed to a point where it is no longer a threat to the settlement. Due to these sea defences, the area directly south of the village now suffers from an even greater rate of erosion.
