Gimble Forth

Bay

Why this matters

Gimble Forth is a coastal rock feature or small bay on one of the Isles of Scilly, composed of Permian or Early Triassic volcanic and intrusive igneous rocks. These rocks formed around 250–280 million years ago during a period of widespread volcanic activity in the region, and the feature is notable for its contribution to the rugged, ancient geological landscape of the Isles of Scilly.
