My walks and talks
What's on in West Sussex
West Sussex has been home to dinosaurs, sharks and mammoths. This fascinating story has shaped the landscape, provided the building stones and influenced our daily lives. This website is dedicated to the varied geology of West Sussex and the opportunities to explore it further. I started this website due to repeated requests for details of my own geological walks and talks, and the need to publicise the varied events for a number of different organisations in one place. Since its conception, the website has been extended to provide a comprehensive view of West Sussex geology and related activities, including hosting the new website for the West Sussex Geological Society.
Perhaps West Sussex is not the best known area in the country for geology, but it still has many rocks and fossils to be discovered. There are a number of geological Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and many more sites that have been identified as Regionally Important Geological & Geomorphological Sites (RIGS) because of their geological interest. West Sussex is also covered by a number of geological societies and many other groups that occasionally involve themselves in geology.
The website will undoubtedly grow and change with time. I welcome constructive comments and additions. If you have a group or event that needs publicising let me know and I will do my best to include it.
