The old bearded man of the sea

With a stern expression and his eyes firmly fixed across the Devon landscape, this cliff formation bears resemblance to a wizened old man, Daily Mail reported.

The similarity to a hardened and wrinkled face on the cliff edge was spotted by local James Norton near Salcombe, in South Devon, the report said.

The image was posted by Mr Norton on the Toad Hall Cottages Facebook page and attracted more than 500 'likes' and numerous comments, according to the report.

One compared the formation to the fictional character Treebeard from Lord of the Rings.

Another local, Darren Bines, said: 'No one has ever noticed it before, it's really weird.

'It's something to do with weathering, the grass and a minor rock fall, which has literally brought the face to life.'
