The chalk escarpment is the most distinctive feature of chalk scenery in England. It consists of two parts- the scarp slope, which is steep, and the dip slope, on which the land falls away more gently. The top of the escarpment has gently rolling hills with rounded summits. There is little surface drainage and rivers are few and far between; however, in places the dip slope has been cut by deep, steep-sided, V-shaped dry valleys, which are marked landscape features.
