Index to Anglesey's Geosites
This is the index page from which you may
navigate to pages giving details of some of
Anglesey's geosites. They are classified
according to the period of geological time they
represent. Additionally, there are two separate
categories of geosites where the palaeontology or
mineralisation are the features of particular
note. The site categories may be accessed via the
menu at the top of each page. Click on a category
to view a site listing, from which you may pick a
particular site if you want to find out more
about it.
Below, you will additionally find links to
downloadable and printable PDF files listing and
briefly summarising the geosites of Anglesey,
arranged by category.
Please note that the inclusion of sites in these
listings in no way allows access to the sites
described. The information is merely a scientific
description. Many of the sites are Sites of
Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), and/or on
private land where permission to visit could be
denied, or the site is unsuitable for safety or
other reasons. Access to any site which is not in
the public domain is entirely at the discretion
of site owners. In no case is the collection and
removal of specimens allowed from any site. Bona
fide researchers require a permit from CCW to
collect any specimens from GCR sites (SSSI) and
these are generally allowed only under
supervision. Queries regarding any of these sites
should be directed to COFNOD, Parc Menai, Bangor.
They will be able to answer any queries in the
near future when all the relevant information is
in their hands.PDF
