Looking up the Chimneys

Looking up the Chimneys
A day on the Marloes peninsula - 7
Pembrokeshire, west Wales.

The cliffs at Marloes Sands are illuminated by the late afternoon sun. Vertically bedded Silurian sediments include prominent beds of brown-weathering sandstone, three of which form the well known Three Chimneys visible here.

Thanks, Amelia! I'm never quite sure whether the name refers to the orange-brown sandstone beds, or the dark clefts in between (as in rock climbers' terminology). I suspect it is the former though.
