Chevron Folding - Cornwall, South-West England.
There is some magnificent cliff walking in this area, particularly the 9 strenuous miles from Bude to Crackington Haven, which passes one of the world’s best examples of chevron-folding at Millook Haven. Cornwall was shaped by the Variscan oregeny during the Carboniferous period, and its rocks were tortured by tectonic forces as the Rheic Ocean finally closed and Pangea was formed. These forces are nowhere more apparent than in the Crackington Haven area and most notably on the cliffs at Millook Haven.
