What is recorded here
A reusable public picture page identifies this place as Cliffs of Owey. This entry is kept separately because no one government record could be safely joined to that public name and point.
The Cliffs of Owey are composed primarily of basalt, formed through ancient volcanic activity during the Paleogene period, roughly 60 to 55 million years ago. These cliffs are notable for their columnar jointing, a result of the rapid cooling of lava flows, and their dramatic coastal scenery, which is characteristic of the basaltic landscapes of the region.
The public picture does not grant access. Check the route and ask before entering private land.
