Why this matters

Walltown Crags is a sea cliff composed primarily of Carboniferous sandstone, formed around 300 to 320 million years ago through sedimentary deposition in ancient river and delta systems. The crags are notable for their dramatic coastal exposure and for being a key feature near the site of the Battle of Flodden in 1513, where the remains of English soldiers are said to have been buried.
