Northward Bight

Northward Bight on the Isles of Scilly consists of sedimentary rocks, primarily mudstones and sandstones of Upper Carboniferous to Lower Permian age, formed through the deposition of terrestrial and marine sediments in a shallow inland sea. The feature is notable for its well-preserved coastal exposures that provide insights into the geological transition between the Carboniferous and Permian periods in the region.
