Why this matters

Comb Scar is a sea cliff located in North Yorkshire, composed primarily of Carboniferous limestone, approximately 300 to 360 million years old. The cliff formed through differential erosion of the resistant limestone layer, and is notable for its distinctive comb-like appearance, which results from weathering along joints and bedding planes.

What is recorded here

Comb Scar is shown as a cliff on the public map of North Yorkshire. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
