Isle of Wight map pack - Extended sheet explanation plus 1:50 000 (B&Sup) special sheet map covering E330,E331, E344 and E345

This Sheet Explanation and map provides a summary of the geology of the Isle of Wight district (Special Sheet) arising from the British Geological Survey’s Isle of Wight Integrated Project.

The island has long been regarded as one of the most significant of the classic areas of British geology. It has been of interest for geological studies since the early 19th century, and is very popular for geological field excursions to satisfy all levels of academic attainment from primary and secondary school levels through to academic research studies. It is used by industry as a laboratory for the understanding of onshore exploration analogues and, size for size, has probably the greatest concentration of widely ranging research articles of anywhere in the UK. A great part of the island forms Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (ANOBs) and a considerable length of the coastline in the south-west and north-west of the island is designated as Heritage Coast.
