Matterhorn Arete

Named rock

Why this matters

The Matterhorn Arete is a striking coastal rock feature in North Yorkshire, characterized by a narrow, jagged ridge resembling the Matterhorn mountain. It is composed of resistant Jurassic limestone, formed around 150 million years ago through marine sedimentation, and is notable for its dramatic coastal erosion and distinctive alpine-like appearance.
