What is recorded here
Emmanuel Head is a coastal headland in Northumberland, composed primarily of Carboniferous sandstone and conglomerate, formed around 300 to 320 million years ago through sedimentary deposition in a fluvial and deltaic environment. The area is notable for its resistant rock formations that have withstood coastal erosion, contributing to the dramatic landscape of the Northumberland coast.
