Why this matters
Charlcombe Bay features a stretch of sea cliffs and rocky shores composed primarily of Jurassic limestone and shale. These rocks formed around 150 million years ago through the accumulation of marine sediments and are notable for their exposure of the Blue Lias Formation, a key geological unit in the region known for fossil content and stratigraphic significance.
