What is recorded here
A named place photographed at this map point in Cornwall.
The coastline between Gurnard's Head and Boswednack Cliff in Cornwall consists mainly of hard, resistant Devonian slate and schist, formed around 380 million years ago through regional metamorphism of sedimentary rocks. These rocks form steep sea cliffs and headlands that are notable for their durability against coastal erosion and for their role in shaping the rugged landscape of north Cornwall.
