Why this matters

Sandhill Knotts is a sea cliff composed primarily of Carboniferous limestone, formed around 340 to 320 million years ago through the accumulation of marine sediments. The cliff is notable for its exposure of durable limestone strata, which are significant for understanding the geological history of the English Lake District and the surrounding coastal areas.

What is recorded here

Sandhill Knotts 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.
