Buckator cliffs, north Cornwall

Buckator cliffs, north Cornwall
Taken from the spectacular South West Coastal Path, between Boscastle and Crackington Haven.

The rocks are shales with thin turbidite sandstones - part of the Crackington Formation (upper Carboniferous) - which are deformed into tight horizontal recumbent folds.

The coastal path follows the cliff indentations and gives tremendous views.
