Whin Scar

Whin Scar is shown as a cliff on the public map of Westmorland and Furness. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.

Whin Scar is a basaltic sea cliff formed during the Carboniferous period, approximately 300 to 360 million years ago, through volcanic activity. It is notable for its resistant igneous rock, which has withstood coastal erosion, forming a prominent and enduring coastal feature.
