This is the view from Wheatham Hill, at 817 feet (249 m). William Cobbett wrote about this view in 1822 as part of his 'Rural Rides' book.
"...out we came, all in a moment, at the very edge of the hanger! And never, in all my life, was I so surprised and so delighted! I pulled up my horse, and sat and looked; and it was like looking from the top of a castle down into the sea; except that the valley was land not water."
