SCA 1: Minehead Harbour to Hurlstone Point Click here to return to interactive overview map of the Seascape Character Areas (SCAs) SCTs within the SCA: A High Coastal Heaths; B High Wooded Coasts, Coombes and Cleaves; E Farmed and Settled Vale; F Enclosed Farmed Hills with Commons; 4P Moderate Energy Coastal Waters. This is the eastern-most SCA within the study area and is characterised by a strongly articulated landform, with undulating plateaux and rounded moorland hills, steep, rugged cliffs and rocky shores. Offshore the waters are characterised by strong tidal streams and currents and a seabed of dynamic sand and gravel sediments and biogenetic reefs. It contains nationally and internationally designated coastal habitats, including coastal heathlands which support a rich birdlife. It has a long history of maritime trade and onshore there is evidence of ancient settlement at prominent cliff- and hill-top positions. Despite its proximity to busy tourism sites and development at Minehead, the area retains high levels of tranquillity and remoteness. The SCA’s coastal area forms part of the Exmoor National Park and Exmoor Heritage Coast.

Introduction SEVERAL LONG SEISMIC LINES in the Bristol Channel area, full details of which will be presented in later papers, give evidence of a basal layer of high velocity, in the range from 6. I-6. 3 km/s, which is interpreted as being of Lower Palaeozoic or Precambrian age. This layer, which almost certainly does not represent the same geological formation under all lines, lies at shallow depth under the western part of the South Wales Coalfield, deepens southwards into the northern part of the Bristol Channel and rises rapidly towards the north Devon coast. Figure I illustrates reduced time-distance curves for two of the long seismic lines D and F, whose locations are shown in Fig. 2. On each line, a series of offshore shots was fired into a fixed array of land recording stations.
