What is recorded here

A named place photographed at this map point in Gwynedd.
The Lleyn cliff scenery consists mainly of volcanic rocks, including rhyolite and tuff, formed during the late Silurian to early Devonian periods around 400 million years ago. These cliffs are notable for their dramatic coastal exposure of ancient volcanic activity and are among the most striking examples of the Lleyn Peninsula's geological heritage.
