| The origin of the pinnacles is chalky sand from weathered shells of former times. This sand was blown in forming dunes. Winterly rain washed away the lime which was led into deeper layers leaving quartz sand in the upper levels. When vegetation developed an acid soil supported this process leading to a harder layer of limestone above the other limestone layer. | |||
