Castle Point and Orchard Strand

Castle Point and Orchard Strand
Castle Point near Crackington Haven, north Cornwall, is comprised of interbedded grey shales and turbidite sandstones of the Crackington Formation (upper Carboniferous) rather complexly deformed here into recumbent chevron folds which themselves have been cut by northward-directed and dipping thrusts.

The rocky inlet in the foreground is Orchard Strand.
