What is recorded here
Tor Bay is a coastal rock feature composed primarily of Carboniferous limestone, formed around 340–300 million years ago through the accumulation of marine sediments. The bay and its rocky shoreline are notable for their role in the geological history of the South Wales coast and for their contribution to the area's coastal erosion dynamics.
