Edge Head

Cliff

Why this matters

Edge Head is a sea cliff composed primarily of Old Red Sandstone, formed during the Devonian period around 400 to 360 million years ago. The cliff is notable for its resistant sandstone formations that have withstood coastal erosion, offering a clear exposure of sedimentary layers and providing insight into the region's geological history.
