The district provides a transect across the south-east margin of the Lower Palaeozoic Welsh Basin. A summary of the lithological characteristics and deposition environments for each formation is provided. In addition, information on the applied geology for the area is offered - mineral and water resources, engineering ground conditions and geological conservation, all of which are vital considerations for future planning and development.
