About 260 million years ago when the north east of England was located in the (sub) tropics a lovely reef was forming along the coast (think Great Barrier reef). Over time the calcite of the organisms (corals) that formed the reef has been converted into dolomite which is a very hard rock and forms steep ridges.
So, next time you run up or down the ridges at Thornley Hall, remember they’re there because of some happy corals 260 million years ago!
