O- Geology of Yorkshire

Geology, Landscape and Building Stones of Yorkshire

The group meets to visit sites of interest within the county.

We use a mixture of car-sharing and public transport, depending on the area visited and meet at the start point of the site of interest at about 10.30 am, returning home in late afternoon.
Members should be prepared and suitably equipped to walk up to 4 miles in open country.

The area of study is the coast and countryside, towns, villages and churches. We consider how geology has influenced land forms, industry and buildings. Group members are invited to contribute their own knowledge of landscape and the natural world.
