The Torquay district in the south-west of England has a long association with geology as a science; fossils from its limestones played a key part in establishing the Devonian system in 1840. Inland from the coast, the ever-changing topography is closely linked to the variety of harder and softer rocks formed in a remarkable geological setting.
