BGS Geology 625k Web service

This Web service provides layers containing data from the BGS Geology 625k (DiGMapGB-625) dataset. BGS Geology 625k provides small-scale (1:625 000 scale) bedrock and superficial geology mapping for use at a regional and national level. The bedrock and superficial data are symbolised by lithology and lithostratigraphy, and a bedrock age layer is also provided for the bedrock layer. Additional linear features (faults) and dykes layers are provided for use in conjunction with the bedrock layer. For more information about the digital maps available from the British Geological Survey, please visit https://www.bgs.ac.uk/geological-data/. The data are provided through this service for view and download under the Open Government Licence.
