    Downloaded from http://trn.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Iowa on March 18, 2015 I.—On the Geology of the Neighbourhood of Weymouth and the adjacent Parts of the Coast of Dorset. BY THE REV. W. BUCKLAND, D.D. P.G.S. F.R.S. (PROFESSOR OF GEOLOGY AND MINERALOGY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD.) AND H. T. DE LA BECHE, ESQ. F.G.S. F.R.S. &c. [Read April 2 and 16, 1830.] 1EW parts of the world present in a small compass so instructive a series of geological phenomena as those which are displayed in the vertical cliffs of the south coast of England. An important portion of this coast, including the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Purbeck, has been well described by Mr. Webster*, and subsequently illustrated by Dr. Fittonf. In the Second Series of the Geological Transactions J, Mr. De la Beche has published sections of the coast from Bridport Harbour to Sidmouth; and in the same volume Dr. Buckland has given drawings of the cliffs from Sidmouth to Beer Head, and from Lyme Regis to the Isle of Portland §. The geological history of the neighbourhood of Weymouth has been partially illustrated by Prof. Sedgwick in the Annals of Philosophy ||; and it will be the object of this paper to supply its full details, illustrated by a map and sections; beginning our observations at the point where Mr. Webster's sections end, viz., at the Pro­ montory of White Nore, about eight miles E.N.E. of the town of Weymouth, and continuing them to Weymouth and Portland, and thence westward along the Chesil Bank to the cliffs west of Lyme Regis.

  • Sandsfoot Management Plan
    Sandsfoot Gardens This site description and action plan, together with the ‘Management of Green Flag Gardens’, forms the basis for the maintenance, management and development of Sandsfoot Gardens. The Sandsfoot Gardens action plan builds on the success of previous plans, which has seen the gardens retain its Green Flag for 5 years. A large amount of development work was undertaken during 2010 to 2016 and, in the main, is complete. When the first plan was created it focussed on improving the heritage by implementing a Heritage Lottery Fund castle restoration project, opening up the Henrician castle to the public. It also dealt with issues relating to antisocial behaviour, criminal damage and drunks but these problems have been overcome to the benefit of all. Now, with a great sense of achievement and satisfaction, the latest plan moves on to ensure the maintenance of the high standards continues and will identify new and emerging requirements for the gardens. The plan will be reviewed annually but on-going feedback from stakeholders and meetings with the Friends will enable continuous development. Introduction Sandsfoot Gardens lie just to the west of Weymouth, within the ancient parish of Wyke Regis, and surround the ruins of Sandsfoot Castle, built by Henry VIII in 1539. This small but beautiful garden is made up of seasonal flowers, herb beds, herbaceous borders, shrub beds, lawns and hedges, which surround an ornamental pond in the centre of the grounds. The gardens provide one of the best uninterrupted views of the entire bay and, as such, provided a viewing opportunity for the 2012 Olympic sailing events held in Weymouth bay and an unsurpassed viewing opportunity for the Paralympic games sailing events held in Portland Harbour.
