What is recorded here
A named place photographed at this map point in Gwynedd.
The rim of the Atlantic Cliff is a prominent coastal rock feature composed of Silurian greywacke, formed around 440–420 million years ago through deep-marine sedimentation and subsequent tectonic uplift. It is notable for its striking vertical exposure and association with the broader Caledonian mountain-building event that shaped Wales’ ancient geology.
