Bishop Buttress

Cliff

Why this matters

Bishop Buttress is a sea cliff composed primarily of Devonian slate, formed around 380 million years ago through the deposition and compression of marine sediments. It is notable for its resistant rock formation, which has withstood coastal erosion, contributing to the dramatic landscape of Cornwall's coastline.
