What is recorded here
Burning Cliff is shown as a cliff on the public map of Dorset. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Burning Cliff is a coastal sea cliff in Dorset, composed primarily of Jurassic-era limestone, formed through sedimentary deposition around 150 million years ago. It is notable for its striking red-tinged rock faces, which may have inspired its name, and for its role in illustrating the region's extensive marine fossil record.
