What is recorded here
Shelly Cove is a small bay on the North Devon coast, characterized by its shelly limestone rock formations, which are part of the Carboniferous Limestone geological group, approximately 340 to 320 million years old. The cove is notable for its accessible marine fossils and the scenic coastal erosion features shaped by wave action over millennia.
