This outcrop of cross-bedded red sandstone is just downstream of the last rapid of any significance on the River Eden on the trip from Lazonby to Armathwaite. It is readily accessible from the river, of course, but can also be seen from a footpath on river right in Coombs Wood. The hillside above is penetrated by a short tunnel conducting the railway through the top of the spur.
