What is recorded here

Hordron Edge is shown as a cliff on the public map of High Peak. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Hordron Edge is a sandstone escarpment formed during the Carboniferous period, approximately 300 to 360 million years ago, through the deposition of sediment in ancient river and delta systems. It is notable for its prominent topographic feature in the High Peak area, contributing to the region's distinctive landscape and providing insight into the geological history of the southern Pennines.
