Abstract
There are about 3500 km2 of Upper Carboniferous surface outcrop in north Cornwall, Devon and west Somerset, mainly in an area between Barnstaple and Bampton in the north, and Boscastle and Exeter in the south (Figure 3.1). The coastal exposures are particularly fine and have revealed exceptional stratigraphical and structural detail.
