"Many houses in Dufton are made of the local red sandstone, known as the St Bees Sandstone. It dates from the Triassic period, around 250 million years ago, and formed from sand deposited in rivers flowing over desert plains." Quote from the North Pennines AONB Partnership's walks leaflet, 'Geology and landscape around Dufton'.
