What is recorded here
Dow 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.
Dow Crag is a sea cliff composed primarily of Ordovician-age volcanic and sedimentary rocks, formed through ancient volcanic activity and subsequent marine deposition. It is notable for its exposure of the Borrowdale Volcanic Group, which is significant for understanding the geological history of the English Lake District region.
