What is recorded here
A reusable public picture page identifies this place as Cliffs north of Downies. This entry is kept separately because no one government record could be safely joined to that public name and point.
Cliffs north of Downies consist primarily of sandstone and shale, formed during the Carboniferous period around 300 to 360 million years ago. These cliffs are notable for their exposure of sedimentary layers that provide insights into ancient marine and deltaic environments.
The public picture does not grant access. Check the route and ask before entering private land.
