What is recorded here
The Horse is a headland in Cornwall composed primarily of Upper Devonian slate, formed around 360 million years ago through the compression of marine sediments. It is notable for its resistant rock formations that have withstood coastal erosion, contributing to the dramatic landscape of the Cornish coast.
