What is recorded here

Highshield Crags is shown as a cliff on the public map of Northumberland. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.

Highshield Crags is a sea cliff composed mainly of Carboniferous sandstone, formed around 300 million years ago through sedimentary deposition in ancient river and delta systems. The crags are notable for their resistant rock formations and their exposure to coastal erosion, which reveals layers of geological history along Northumberland's coast.
