BGS Geology 625K
(
WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download
)
Generalised digital geological map data based on BGS’s published poster maps of the UK (north and south). Bedrock-related themes were created by generalisation of 1:50 000 data to make the 2007 fifth edition bedrock geology map. Superficial geology-related themes were digitised from the 1977 first edition Quaternary map (north and south).
