What is recorded here
Porth Loo is a small bay on the Isles of Scilly, characterized by coastal rock formations primarily composed of granite, which is part of the region's older Cornubian batholith. These rocks are around 280 to 300 million years old (Carboniferous to early Permian period), formed by the slow cooling of deep-seated magma, and are notable for their durability and role in shaping the rugged coastal landscape of the Isles of Scilly.
