Sandstone Geology at Clashach Cove
View east across the cove. The exposed sandstone on the hillside was once sand dunes formed in a desert environment around 250 million years ago. As the prevailing wind direction changed, the dunes grew at different orientations and the layering produced can be seen. A fault line can be seen to the left of the larger cave. To the left of the fault line is a smaller tunnel where you can walk through the rock to the shore on the other side!
The sandstone is being mined in a quarry just behind the cove.
