What is recorded here

Needle Rock is shown as a cliff on the public map of Cornwall. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.

Needle Rock is a prominent coastal rock feature composed primarily of hard, dark volcanic basalt, typical of the Cornish coast. It is estimated to be around 290 to 310 million years old, formed during the Carboniferous period through the cooling of ancient lava flows, and is notable for its striking vertical profile and resistance to erosion.
