  1. Peppermint, (it's pink).


  2. Walton-on-the-Naze is a surprisingly good place to find a range of fossils.  The presence of both London Clay (50 million years) and the much younger Red Crag (2 million years) provides a diversity of fossils within a short stretch of beach.  Fossils can be found all year round, but the best time to go is during the winter or after stormy weather - when erosion is at its greatest.  

    Because Walton-on-the-Naze is an SSSI, climbing up the cliff or damaging it in any way is prohibited.  However despite this, many of fossil can be collected at the cliff base, where the Red Crag has slumped onto the beach.



    In places the rate of erosion is clearly visible. The movement of the cliff slumps cause the sand to literally bulge under the pressure and at various places along the cliff the trees overhang precariously.

  3. Probably sedimentary sandstone.

  4. Mainly folk-rock, with some jazz/hip hop influences.
