The Plymouth Area

GA Guide Number 38

The five excursions described in this guide are centred on the city of Plymouth, and although they are mostly concerned with Lower Devonian rocks, details of other important elements in the local Variscan geology are also included. The first three excursions deal with the stratigraphy and structure of various sections across the Dartmouth Antiform, itinerary four with the southern flanks of the Antiform and rocks of the Start Complex, and itinerary five which features exposed inland north of Plymouth.
