Why this matters

St Anthony Head is a prominent headland in Cornwall composed mainly of Devonian slate and volcanic rocks, approximately 380 to 410 million years old. The rugged cliffs and resistant rock formations make it a notable example of the Cornubian Batholith's coastal expression and a key feature in the region's geological and coastal landscape.

What is recorded here

St Anthony Head is shown as a headland on the public map of Cornwall. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
