Orcombe Point, Coastal promontory in Exmouth, England
The red sandstone cliffs of Orcombe Point rise above the coastline, marking the western end of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.
The geological formations at Orcombe Point contain sedimentary rocks from the Triassic period, dating back approximately 250 million years.
The Geoneedle monument, constructed with different stones from the Jurassic Coast, stands at the summit as a testament to geological diversity.
Visitors can access Orcombe Point via the Southwest Coast Path, with parking facilities available at nearby Exmouth Beach and Sandy Bay.
The tilted rock layers at Orcombe Point reveal a continuous sequence spanning 185 million years of Earth's history through Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous formations.
