What is recorded here

Castle Crag is shown as a cliff on the public map of Westmorland and Furness. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.

Castle Crag is a prominent volcanic plug formed from igneous rock, primarily andesite, and is part of the Borrowdale Volcanic Group, dating back to the Ordovician period, around 460 million years ago. It is notable for its distinctive columnar jointing and as a key example of ancient volcanic activity in the English Lake District.
