Geological

From the ancient volcanoes of the Lake District to the chalk cliffs of the Sussex coast, discover some magnificent scenery sculpted by years of geological processes and get a glimpse of what’s under our feet as we walk. Geology as a science started in Britain; walk the landscapes that caused the early pioneers to question the geological processes that caused the world to look as it does today.

Below there is a great selection of our walking holidays in areas with some magnificent geology on show.
