Carreg-y-gwalch is a sea cliff composed of Silurian greywacke, formed around 440–420 million years ago through sedimentation and subsequent lithification in a deep marine environment. It is notable for its resistant rock type, which has withstood coastal erosion, contributing to the rugged character of the Conwy coastline.
