What is recorded here
Black Scar is shown as a cliff on the public map of County Durham. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Black Scar is a sea cliff composed primarily of Carboniferous limestone, formed around 340 million years ago through the accumulation of marine sediments. It is notable for its striking dark appearance, likely due to weathering or mineral staining, and its prominence within the coastal landscape of County Durham.
