The underlying rock from Bedruthan Steps to Trevose Head is Middle Devonian slates (386–377 Ma) with Staddon Grits to the south towards Trenance Point. The thickness of the slates have been estimated at over 2,000 metres (6,600 ft). Marine erosion by the sea carrying sand and pebbles have worn away the weaker, softer rocks to leave the stacks we see today.
Following the travels of a 2011 Brazilian Volkswagen Type 2 camper van around the UK. Zoom in/out on the map to see where we have visited. Click on the marker to find the link direct to that page. I will be adding more and more of my locations from the last few years over the coming weeks.

Trevarrian Hill to Bedruthan Steps
A walk along the cliffs, via Morgan Porth, to the spectacular Bedruthan Steps & then back to the beach at Morgan Porth.

Wow, this is a great set.
