Berwick Rocks! Piers and Fake Volcanoes

Thursday 5^th October: meet at 2:00 pm at the entrance to the Barracks on the Parade.

Walk summary: The shape and form of the landscape often give clues to what is happening under the ground. Sometimes these clues can be deceptive, and the fascinating swirl of rocks called the Ladies Skerrs, which can be seen from the coastguards hut on the cliffs at Berwick are no exception.
This walk will explore the coastal exposure of rock on the shore of Berwick hunting for fossils as well as looking at the larger structures and what they tell us about the way these rocks formed. We will also be exploring the way in which this rocky story has contributed to how Berwick has developed as a town.
