Lincoln Cliff
Portion of escarpment in central Lincolnshire, England / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lincoln Cliff or Lincoln Edge is a portion of a major escarpment that runs north–south through the historic divisions of Lindsey and Kesteven in central Lincolnshire and is a prominent landscape feature in a generally flat portion of the county.[1] Towards its northern end, near Scunthorpe, it is sometimes referred to as the Trent Cliff.[2] The name preserves an obsolete sense of the word "cliff", which could historically refer to a hillside as well as a precipitous rock face.[3]
