Jersey Geology Ramblers' Guide

The Jersey Geology Ramblers' Guide takes walkers around various bays, beaches and headlands with striking views of rocks on the British Channel Island of Jersey which display a rich variation in colour, texture and structure, and which help you to interpret the island's geology. Jersey's rocks range from ancient sandstones and shales to granites, lava flows and dolerite dykes and veins. These older rocks are overlain by more recent raised beaches and glacial sediments formed during ice ages and warmer interglacial periods. This guide offers locals and visitors to the island of Jersey the opportunity to explore and understand the rich natural history and landscape of a location that is justly recognised as an area of Classic British Geology.
