What is recorded here
Fistral Bay in Cornwall features a prominent sea cliff composed mainly of Upper Devonian slate and sandstone. These rocks formed around 360 million years ago from sedimentary deposits in a shallow marine environment and are notable for their resistance to erosion, shaping the bay's distinctive coastal profile.
