The book is a celebration of the wonderful scenery of the coast and countryside of South West England and the geological processes that have led to their formation. Locations from the counties of Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and Dorset have been chosen, illustrated with colour photographs and each with a description of a particular aspect of the geology of that site. This is accompanied by more general descriptions of the major geological processes. Emphasis is placed on what the visitor can see and appreciate for herself. It is an illustrated guide to the processes that have shaped this beautiful region over the many millions of years of geological history.
