Fairly sure it's Hatland Point, Devon, UK. If it is, then the rocks folded are turbidites (deep marine sediments) of Carboniferous age, and fall within the British part of the Variscan orogen.

not sure where it is, but it's pretty! try looking at a geological map, for some similar folding patterns and unconformities? you may not find that exact place, but you'll find some other interesting sites.

I've seen similar formations in the Orkney Islands, north of Scotland. It could be one of those.
