The low cliff on the right of the path is a good place to see how the sandstone is made up of many thin layers or beds.
See the layers in sandstone
It is thought they are the result of successive flash floods, each depositing a fresh layer of sand. Notice that the sand grains in the various layers are different sizes. Some layers are made up of fine sand, others coarse, the coarser layers representing deposits from stronger, more energetic, floods.

A short distance on, a sandstone 'step' has to be descended. Take care, it can be slippy, and the best way down is at the right hand side.
