Rock outcrops in Littleharp Bay, Clevedon
Rock outcrops in Littleharp Bay, Clevedon
I think these rock outcrops on the beach in Littleharp Bay are carboniferous limestone. They were certainly laid down horezontally at the bottom of an ancient sea. Over time the ground has shifted, and they now stick out at an angle of about 45 degrees.
