escarpment
1.A steep slope or cliff; an escarpment.
2.The fox went to ground under a rocky escarpment
3.Situated on the edge of the Cotswolds escarpment, above the Vale of Berkeley and the River Severn, it is a picturesque village.
4.I say “mostly” because there invariably comes a time when the keen-as-mustard brigade want to scamper up another escarpment, while my inclination is to follow the low road where one is more likely to encounter the locals.
