Craig Cwm Tinwen is a sea cliff in Ceredigion, composed primarily of Silurian greywacke and mudstone, formed around 440–420 million years ago through deep-marine sedimentation and subsequent tectonic uplift. The cliff is notable for its exposure of ancient volcanic and sedimentary rocks that are part of the Welsh Caledonides, offering insights into early Paleozoic geological history.
