What is recorded here
Oxen Cove is a coastal rock feature composed primarily of Devonian-age granite, formed around 380 million years ago through the slow cooling of magma deep within the Earth's crust. The area is notable for its dramatic sea cliffs and the exposure of hard, resistant rock that has withstood extensive erosion from the sea, making it a prominent landmark within Torbay.
