What is recorded here

Porthgwarra Buttress 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.

Porthgwarra Buttress is a prominent sea cliff composed mainly of Devonian slate, formed around 380 million years ago through the deposition and compression of marine sediments. It is notable for its resistant rock formations that have withstood coastal erosion, contributing to the dramatic coastal scenery of south-west Cornwall.
