Why this matters
Shackley Bench is a coastal rock feature or sea cliff composed of Upper Cretaceous chalk, formed around 70 to 100 million years ago through the accumulation of marine microfossils. It is notable as part of the Torbay coastline, which offers insights into the geological history of southern England.
