Quick facts

The Warren's tumbled terrain was created by massive chalk landslides over centuries.

Towering white chalk cliffs frame a secret valley of dense, jungle-like undergrowth below.

In December 1915 the 'Great Fall' shifted the railway 50 metres towards the sea; a train caught on it stopped in time, and the line stayed shut until 1919.
