ST1066 : Tilted strata near Friar's Point
near to Barry Island, The Vale of Glamorgan/Bro Morgannwg, Great Britain
Tilted strata near Friar's Point
Little Island is no longer an island since it and the larger Barry Island were joined to the mainland by a causeway. This whole section of coast is of great interest to geologists as it offers a fabulous cross-section through the tilted beds of the Carboniferous Limestone, often topped by flat-lying beds of Triassic sandstone. There are faults, folds and fossils aplenty to be found.
