The paper examines geographical aspects of organic farming in England and Wales. At a regional scale, three major concentrations of organic production are found to the south and west of a line drawn between Bangor in north Wales and Brighton
in south-east England. There is little evidence of spatial clustering, a neighbourhood effect or the influence of socio-cultural factors.

Several structures of Henrician (sixteenth century) and greater age on the coast of southwest England have been exposed to coastal salt weathering for 500-600 years. Long-term weathering rates on 5 different rock groups are derived from careful
weathering rates were observed on south- and west-facing exposed cliffs. The results are discussed with reference to algal growth, climate, and wind direction.
Short-term (1-30 months) weathering rates were obtained for steep cliffs of Cretaceous Ardingly Sandstone in southern England, using a new photographic method. There was no correlation with grain size, porosity, or mean surface temperature. Highest
