Trimingham : structural architecture of the Cromer Ridge Push Moraine complex and controls for landslide geohazards
One of the most striking geomorphological features of the north Norfolk area is the Cromer Ridge. It extends eastwards from Thursford, near Fakenham, to Trimingham where it intersects the North Sea coast. The ridge has been interpreted in‐part, as a push moraine formed at the southern margins of the...
