Camber Castle and Weald Sandstone

 

Here was me thinking that I'd come to chalk country in Sussex and Kent. This display board at the marvellous Camber Castle alerted me to the idea that the Weald is largely sandstone - admittedly laid down in the Carboniferous period. I have looked up Fairlight near Hastings on BGS GeoIndex and it gives that sandstone as being part of the Wadhurst Clay Formation. The stones weathered nicely.
