Long Scar is shown as a cliff on the public map of North Yorkshire. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Long Scar is a sea cliff composed primarily of Jurassic limestone, formed around 160 million years ago through the accumulation of marine sediments. The cliff is notable for its exposure of well-bedded limestone layers, which provide insight into the region's ancient marine environment and are of interest to geologists and fossil collectors.
