What is recorded here
Three Cliffs is a prominent coastal rock formation near Swansea, composed primarily of Carboniferous limestone, formed around 340 million years ago through the accumulation of marine sediments. The cliffs are notable for their distinctive triple-tiered structure, shaped by differential erosion and the varying resistance of rock layers to wave action.
