About GeoGuide

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 5,930 pages on the site, from 125 publications, with 13,259 figures or tables and 48,458 mapped locations.
