Limestone pavement and Lavernock Point in black and white
Lavernock Point (Trwyn Larnog in Welsh) lies to the south of Cardiff and Penarth and is part of the beautiful Glamorgan Heritage Coast in South Wales. The Point marks the lower limit of the Severn estuary and the start of the Bristol Channel; Sand Point in Somerset is the equivalent marker on the southen / English shore. The area is famous for its unusual and distinctive geology, this image shows a part of the impressive grey Carboniferous Limestone beds and formations that are exposed at low tide. The cliffs of the Point itself are mainly alternating layers of limestone and mudstones. A colour version of this image is also available, please message if you are interested!
