| Coates and the Thames & Severn Canal / The Source of the Thames
Geology and Landscape Heritage Trail
This guide explores the area around the village of Coates looking at landscape and heritage features and their relationship to the geology of the area. Either a 3km or 5.5km trail can be followed, with the option of diverting to look at the source of the River Thames. During your walk, you will see rocks dating back c. 165 million years and will learn how the composition, location and fracturing of these rocks has given us building stone and springs, dry valleys and a major river, engineering difficulties and one of the most important aquifers in the UK. £2.00 << Back |
