The GeoGuide website presents published articles about geosites and allows them to be explored using an interactive map. Grid references in the text are
plotted on the map, making it easy to find each locality. This should assist in discovering sites of geological interest, understanding the geology and
preparing site visits. Content currently covers England, Wales and Scotland.
The GeoGuide website is part of a wider project, led by the
Scottish Geology Trust, to promote and report on geosites in
Scotland, in cooperation with JNCC and
NatureScot. It is a sister site to the main Geosites volunteer project website.
There are currently 3,441 pages on the site, from 47 publications, with
13,066 figures or tables and 14,720 mapped locations.
Please contact geosites@scottishgeologytrust.org with any comments or questions.
