I'm glad that you qualified the first suggestion by adding a second possibility because I found the first suggestion implausible. I reasoned that if the sea wore away a new channel the rocks would have been softer than those that were and are each side. I reason that there would be some evidence of the soft rocks left today. I believe that your second suggestion is more plausible . Thank you for the video.
Nice Jay ! I'm going with the ice theory . I also think you filming it would have given it the drama it deserves . It's such an awe inspiring place . Maybe you need to rectify this sometime ,
It has been said that towards the end of the last ice age the river Thames was forced to flow further south due to a glacier blocking it's original course as it crept forever southwards. The glacier extended from the Thames to Cardiff and covered everything in England, Wales and Ireland all the way northwards to the North Pole. It is suggested that the coast of France collided with England and Ireland forming the hills along the south of coast of England and Ireland around that time. My theory is that the collision could have forced the west country closer to Wales or the glacier could have ended closer to North Devon. That being the case the Valley of Rock could have been cut by the melt waters of that massive glacier. As the melt waters subsided the river through the Valley dried up and left the river Lyn much as it is today. In North Yorkshire there are many examples of oddly precariously stacked rocks said to have been dropped as the glacier receded . It is also said that England was separated fro France when the melt waters burst through from the North sea cutting the English channel and also forming the Isle of Wight. I grew up in Lynton and often enjoyed playing in the valley as a child. Thank you for making such an interesting video. .
