The cliff is part of the larger Carn Brea range and stands at an impressive height, commanding attention from both land and sea.

Silver Carn is characterized by its distinct silver-gray color, which is a result of the unique composition of the rock formations found in the area. The cliff is composed primarily of slate and shale, giving it a striking appearance that is further enhanced by the interplay of light and shadow.
