This is one of the best examples of a Down).

  • Somerset Geology-A Good Rock Guide
    SOMERSET GEOLOGY-A GOOD ROCK GUIDE Hugh Prudden The great unconformity figured by De la Beche WELCOME TO SOMERSET Welcome to green fields, wild flower meadows, farm cider, Cheddar cheese, picturesque villages, wild moorland, peat moors, a spectacular coastline, quiet country lanes…… To which we can add a wealth of geological features. The gorge and caves at Cheddar are well-known. Further east near Frome there are Silurian volcanics, Carboniferous Limestone outcrops, Variscan thrust tectonics, Permo-Triassic conglomerates, sediment-filled fissures, a classic unconformity, Jurassic clays and limestones, Cretaceous Greensand and Chalk topped with Tertiary remnants including sarsen stones-a veritable geological park! Elsewhere in Mendip are reminders of coal and lead mining both in the field and museums. Today the Mendips are a major source of aggregates. The Mesozoic formations curve in an arc through southwest and southeast Somerset creating vales and escarpments that define the landscape and clearly have influenced the patterns of soils, land use and settlement as at Porlock. The church building stones mark the outcrops. Wilder country can be found in the Quantocks, Brendon Hills and Exmoor which are underlain by rocks of Devonian age and within which lie sunken blocks (half-grabens) containing Permo-Triassic sediments. The coastline contains exposures of Devonian sediments and tectonics west of Minehead adjoining the classic exposures of Mesozoic sediments and structural features which extend eastward to the Parrett estuary. The predominance of wave energy from the west and the large tidal range of the Bristol Channel has resulted in rapid cliff erosion and longshore drift to the east where there is a full suite of accretionary landforms: sandy beaches, storm ridges, salt marsh, and sand dunes popular with summer visitors.

  • Valley of Rocks Site Visit
    Paddlesteamers, Postcards and Holidays Past SITE VISIT – VALLEY OF ROCKS STAY SAFE IN THE VALLEY OF ROCKS! Do not climb any rocks. Stay away from the edge above the sea. As you arrive at the Valley of Rocks, imagine that we have travelled here in a time machine, and the year is somewhere around 1800. The explorers of the last couple of centuries have brought back maps and charts of distant places, and amazing tales of other landscapes and lifestyles, and we are beginning to realise that there is an awful lot we don't yet know. Thanks to Isaac Newton, we know something about gravity and other scientific matters. As a result, some of the most respected thinkers of the time argued quite convincingly that the traditional theories – such as the one about God creating the universe in seven days, just a few thousand years ago – could not be right. Scientists, naturalists and antiquarians have set out on a hunt for data in the natural world, and writers and artists are out there with them, looking for new ways to express how they feel about it all. Darwin has not yet come up with his theory of evolution, and we don't know much about dinosaurs or fossils, or how the prehistoric world looked; but we are on the verge of some spectacular advances in knowledge as people investigate and catalogue the natural world around them. Like those tourists in the “Age of Enlightenment”, we are in the Valley of Rocks to do just that. AN ARTIST'S VIEWPOINT Imagine you are an artist, and your way of interpreting the world around you is by drawing or painting it.
