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-era sandstone, formed through sedimentation in a shallow marine environment around 160 million years ago. It is notable for its distinctive red-coloured rock layers, which result from iron oxide staining and contribute to its local visibility and geological interest.
