Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Anticline in cliffs west of Greenala Point Plunging anticline in cliffs of Old Red Sandstone.

Slope-over-wall cliff profile is evident and landslide debris mantles the coastal slope. Large angular blocks on foreshore are landslide/rockfall debris that is still too large to have been removed by wave action (not yet worn down by abrasive action of sand).

Person at boundary of beach sand/blocks (lower left) shows scale.

NB. do not attempt to reach this beach by scrambling down the cliffs - there are deep fissures amongst the blackthorns/brambles on the upper slope and the lower cliff is very unstable.

Please see guidance for kayakers in the description under my photo of cliffs near Greenala Point https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1567250 .
