What is recorded here
Dow Crag is shown as a cliff on the public map of Cumberland. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Dow 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 sedimentary rock layers that provide insight into ancient tropical sea conditions and is a key feature in the geological landscape of the Cumberland coast.
