What is recorded here
Dove Crag is shown as a cliff on the public map of Northumberland. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Dove Crag is a sea cliff composed primarily of Carboniferous limestone, formed around 340 to 320 million years ago through the accumulation of marine sediments. It is notable for its exposure of fossil-rich rock layers, which provide insights into ancient marine environments and contribute to the geological significance of Northumberland’s coastal landscape.
