Rhiwiau Caws is shown as a cliff on the public map of Conwy. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Rhiwiau Caws is a sea cliff composed primarily of Silurian greywacke and slate, formed around 440–420 million years ago through deep marine sedimentation and subsequent tectonic compression. The cliff is notable for its exposure of ancient volcanic and sedimentary rock layers, reflecting the complex geological history of the Welsh Caledonides.
