The Coombe dry valley viewed from the head of the north branch. Although the lower part of The Coombe dry valley has a V shaped cross section typical of valleys eroded by streamflow, the upper branches have a more rounded cross section, indicative of the role of periglacial weathering and solifluction in their formation. The slopes are underlain by Chalk bedrock but the flat valley bottom is underlain by a narrow strip of Head deposits (coombe rock).

On the west side of the path from the north side of the Coombe to New Pit is a small pit exposing part of the Lewes Nodular Chalk. The face is up to 3 m high. For at least a metre below the ground surface the Chalk is disturbed by weathering, possibly including periglacial frost shattering. Below this the nodular Chalk bedrock is broken up by close-spaced jointing. The dip is to the right (south) as shown by the prominent marl seam.
