An outcrop of the New Red Sandstone, laid down under desert conditions during the Permian period, roughly 280 million years ago. This series is abundant throughout the Midlands and Cheshire, and underlies much of the central belt of the UK, forming a number of well-known outcrops such as Helsby in Cheshire, and High Rock just outside Bridgnorth.
