Are there any faults or joints at flamborough head?
Flambrough Head is a chalk headland with sheer white cliffs. Without looking at a Geological Map of the area I can not tell you if there are any faults running through it (but it is likely) but the Chalk rock will be jointed. I believe there are stacks and caves associated with the headland and these are probably associated with the majour joints (perhaps faults).
Why hasn't flamborough been eroded?
Flamborough Head has sea cliffs that are composed of hard chalk and limestone, which are more resistant to erosion compared to other types of rock. The presence of these durable rock formations along the coastline helps protect Flamborough from significant erosion. Additionally, natural factors such as wave energy and sediment supply also play a role in the rate of erosion in this area.
What sea defences are there around Flamborough Head?
Flamborough Head has rocky cliffs and natural coastal formations that provide some natural sea defense. Additionally, there are man-made sea defenses such as seawalls and groynes to help protect the area from erosion and flooding. Over time, these structures have been implemented to help manage the coastline and protect against the forces of the sea.

Where are all limestone caves are in Britain?
They are in several regions. ---- The main ones are in the Pennine Hills from Lancashire & N.Yorkshire south to the Peak District; South Wales; Forest of Dean, Mendip Hills. All those are in Carboniferous Limestone. ---- There are also caves in scattered patches of limestone in Scotland, NE England, N.Wales. ---- The 'Isle' of Portland (Dorset) is rare in combining karst and mass-movement caves, and is composed of Jurassic limestone - the other "end" of the same outcrop, in NE Yorkshire, hosts Excalibur Pot, found only a few years ago and the first known major active cave in Jurassic limestone in the UK. ----- Caves in Devon included ones whose resident bats were among the first to be studied in the UK. ----- A few karst caves are reported in Chalk, such as Beachy Head Cave; while other karst features in Chalk are common in Dorset and elsewhere. --- Although earlier travellers ventured into places like Porth-yr-Ogof (S.Wales ) and Wookey Hole (Somerset - this cave's stalactites were also plundered by the poet Alexander Pope for garden-ornaments), proper cave exploration in the UK really started in Britain in Yorkshire and Mendip. The Mendip Hills is also the world's birth-place of cave-diving (in Wookey Hole and Swildons Hole).
