Wiltshire's landscape is inextricably bound up with the rocks beneath the surface. It is our aim to raise public awareness of Earth Sciences and draw peoples attention to the way the landscape, and the towns and villages within it, are influenced by the underlying geology.

It is not a book on the geology of Wiltshire per se but rather one for the general reader interested in what underpins the environment of this beautiful county.
