Everything about White Nothe totally explained
White Nothe is a
chalk headland on the
English Channel coast at the eastern end of
Ringstead Bay, east of
Weymouth in
Dorset,
England. The area is well-known for its
geology and
fossils. Its flanks are the result of pre-historic landslides and the inaccessible slopes of the undercliff provide a secluded wildlife habitat.
There is a spectacular
zigzag path up the cliff, believed to be one of the locations used by
smugglers in the book
Moonfleet. It is possible to walk to the base of White Nothe along the shore from Ringstead Bay, but it's cut off at high tide so much care should be taken.
The area is of great natural beauty and is owned by the
National Trust. From the top of White Nothe, to the east, the
chalk headland of
Bat's Head can be viewed. It is possible to walk east along a clifftop path to
Durdle Door and
Lulworth Cove. Out to sea, to the south-west, the
Isle of Portland can be seen.
Immediately to the northeast of White Nothe is the Burning Cliff, which smouldered with an underground fire for several years from
1826 due to the
bituminous shale.
