The spectacular landscapes of the West Cork peninsulas with their raw and almost skeletal qualities are very much the product of the underlying bedrock geology of the region. This geology predominantly consists of layered sandstones, siltstones and mudstones of Upper Devonian age that were deposited in a large sedimentary basin, the Munster Basin, 380-360 million years ago.
"This syncline structure, while relatively small, very powerfully evokes the incredible tectonic forces that were required to produce the Vatican mountain belt of Southern Ireland, a geological event that shapes our landscapes to this very day." (Words by Dr. Pat Meere, Head of Geology at UCC Cork City.)
