Summary edit
| Description |
English: Banded sediments, An Garradh Along this section of coast, sedimentary rocks are exposed below a capping of Tertiary basalt lavas. The banded rocks in the lower half of the cliffs of An Garradh are Mesozoic sediments, dipping roughly northwards into the cliff. The upper part of the cliff is formed from basalt laid down as lava flows over an eroded surface.
None of this stretch of coast offers a landing for a sea kayaker, and progress on foot along the coast would be strenuous, either up and down on goat paths on the scree or over the angular boulders at the foot of the scree, or on the wave-cut platform cut by numerous fissures and lashed by spray... The environment suits the feral goats which live here very well, as there can be few disturbances, even in the calmest of weather as seen in this photograph. |
