The Geology of Redcliffe Caves

The Geology of Redcliffe Caves


Redcliffe Caves have been designated as a Regionally Important Geological and Geomorphological Site (RIGS) since 1986.


RIGS is a non-statutory designation. This means that the site doesn’t have any legal standing but is protected from development that would cause damage to a RIGS unless the importance of the work is considered to outweigh the value of the affected RIGS, in which case measures will be taken to minimise and offset the impact on the outcrop.
