What is recorded here
Stanswood Bay features a stretch of coastal rock formations primarily composed of Cretaceous-age Chalk, formed from the accumulation of marine microorganisms over 66 to 145 million years ago. The bay is notable for its relatively intact coastal scenery and its position within the New Forest area, which is protected for its natural and historical significance.
