The City of Liverpool, Wirral and part of north Clwyd are included in this district, which is dissected by the estuaries of the Mersey and the Dee (Afon Dyfrdwy). The bedrock geology divides into two domains; the Welsh part underlain by Carboniferous rocks and the English part by Permo-Triassic rocks - the boundary runs approximately along the national border which bisects the Dee estuary. The oldest of the Carboniferous strata are the most erosion-resistant Dinantian limestones of the Clwyd Limestone Group which forms an escarpment in the west. To the east of the Dee, the Permian and Triassic strata which underlie Liverpool and the Wirral consist of aeolian, alluvial and fluvial sandstones and coastal plain mudstones. < [Map Pack]
