The district covered in this Sheet Explanation extends from Selby in the south to part of York in the north-west. Pocklington is in the north-east corner of the asrea, while Holme-on-Spalding-Moor is towards the south-east. The low-lying landscape of the Vale of York includes some of the best-preserved lowland glacial topographical features in the UK. The story of the landscape dates mainly from the last ice age and is one of glaciers advancing into progracial lakes, leaving moraines on their retreat. Beneath the superficial glacial deposits, the bedrock geology records a history of deserts, warm seas and coal swamps. The low-lying nature of the alluvial and glacial deposits means this district is prone to flooding. [Booklet and Map Pack]
