  • Field Trip Report the Tortworth Inlier Sunday 26Th April 2015. Dave
    Field Trip Report The Tortworth Inlier Sunday 26th April 2015. Dave Green, our group leader, showed us some of the fascinating geology, to the north-east of the city of Bristol. This area is relatively flat but has some undulating topography as it runs into the Vale of Berkeley. It includes the northern part of the once busy Bristol Coalfield. This part of South Gloucestershire is largely rural, dotted with farms, small villages and little townships. It is enclosed by the Mendip Hills to the south, the Cotswold Escarpment to the north and to the east, and the Severn estuary to the west. The area is drained by small streams and rivers like the Frome, whose waters skirt the contours and tumble into the Severn Estuary. Palaeozoic rocks can be found exposed here, while to the east and north east younger Mesozoic rocks overlie them. The geology of South Gloucestershire at first blush appears complex and takes a little unravelling. To begin with; some terminology An inlier is an island of older rock strata, surrounded by younger strata. The Tortworth Inlier comprises Cambrian/Silurian outcrops surrounded by Mesozoic rocks located around Charfield Green, just south of the Little Avon river. It also lies North East of the Carboniferous Coalpit Heath syncline once mined for the bituminous coals it contains. The rock strata we hoped to see Cambrian rocks The oldest strata are the Micklewood beds of upper Cambrian/Lower Ordivician and Tremadoc in age. These are grey micaceous shales with flaggy sandstone or siltstones inbetween. They lie in the southern third of the Tortworth inlier.

  • Bird Club September 2020 Bulletin
    DURSLEY BIRDWATCHING AND PRESERVATION SOCIETY SEPTEMBER 2020 BULLETIN Welcome to the September Bulletin which we hope you will enjoy and thank you to all of our members who have helped by sending in articles etc. During the next few month’s which will probably be difficult we shall be looking at the best way to run the Society for your bene- fit. In the meantime, get out on your daily walks and enjoy the birdlife you can find. – MGR. ‘Toad in the Well’. Lockdown eased and we scampered off immediately in our camper van to our favourite location on the edge of Highnam Woods. On arrival we were impressed by the work that the farmer Jeremy had done during the lockdown-improving the campsite to include five hard standings making the site viable for twelve months of the year and allowing visits during the beauty of all seasons. It can be very wet as we know on the forest edge in Gloucestershire, in fact on some occasions the landscape seemed far more suited for planting rice than winter wheat. Down the grassy track from the campsite to the corner of the next field Jeremy had dumped some fifty tons of top soil from the excavations of the hard standing. There had always been a very soggy wet hollow here so the plan is to landfill, level and remove the hollow. Jeremy knew there was a well in the locality dating from eighteen hundreds but on investigating found beautiful clear water thirty foot down so decided to make a feature of it, unfortunately during this investigation and moving of the cover the family heard a loud plop.
