Cliff stacks and caves?
editI have seen old postcards showing these features on the coast of Birchington, but I have also walked along that coast and there is no sign of them now. The stacks crumbled away in the early 20th century and the remains of the caves are bricked up or concreted over. I suspect that this description was copied from an old guidebook. Can anybody supply a more modern description?
Formatting Awry!
editI don't know enough to fix it, so could someone who can please correct the headings? John C Kay (talk) 20:47, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

This article no longer meets the current FA criteria in several places. The history section contains nothing after 1903. Many sections are out of date. There's some uncited bits. Some of the sourcing is a touch iffy. For instance, The drinking water in the village is classed as being 'very hard', having just over 120 mg of calcium per litre. The hardness is due to water being obtained from underground chalk sources by the water company Southern Water. is sourced to something that doesn't even mention this specific place. Minnis Bay Sailing Club, founded in 1950, is a dinghy and catamaran club where members can sail for fun, but competitions are also held most weekends is sourced to the club's own website. We need a third party source to verify that this group is really significant. If this article isn't brought up to the current FA standards, it may go through WP:FAR.
