CHESIL-BANK, a ridge of shingle on the coast of Dorset; extending 10 ¾ miles north-westward from Portland to Abbotsbury. It is separated from the mainland by a narrow channel, called the Fleet; has, for the most part, a width of from 170 to 200 yards; consists chiefly of chalky white pebbles, mixed in parts with sand; and slopes steeply, on each side, to the water.
