Cliff

What is recorded here

West Tor is shown as a cliff on the public map of Swansea. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
West Tor is a sea cliff composed primarily of Carboniferous limestone, formed around 340 million years ago through the accumulation of marine sediments. It is notable for its exposure of sedimentary rock layers that provide insight into ancient tropical sea conditions and is a key feature in understanding the geological history of the Swansea area.
