Red Scar

Red Scar is shown as a cliff on the public map of North Yorkshire. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.

Red Scar is a sea cliff composed primarily of Jurassic-age mudstone and sandstone, formed through sedimentary deposition around 160 to 170 million years ago. The cliff is notable for its striking red and brown banding, resulting from iron oxide staining and differential weathering of the rock layers.
