in the foreground.
Redcliff Point is on the south coast of
World Heritage landscape known for its geology.[1] Fossils can be found in the Upper Oxford Clay in this area.[2]
The cliff looks over to the Isle of Portland. It is so-called because of the red colouring of the cliffs at this point.[3]
Close by to the west are the Broadrock cliffs and Bowleaze Cove. To the east are Black Head and the coastal village of Osmington Mills.
