What is recorded here
The Promenade is shown as a cliff on the public map of Dorset. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
The Promenade is a sea cliff located in Dorset, composed primarily of Jurassic limestone, dating to the Middle to Upper Jurassic period, approximately 165 to 150 million years old. It formed through the accumulation of marine sediments in a shallow tropical sea and is notable for its exposure of the Dorset Coast's rich fossil record and its role in the UNESCO-recognized Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.
