The UK and Ireland feature some of the most diverse and beautiful geology in the world, spanning most of geological time, from the oldest Pre-Cambrian rocks to the youngest Quaternary sediments (Norfolk has plenty of those!). As part of Earth Science Week 2014, the Geological Society in London is celebrating the unique Earth heritage of the British Isles with a competition to choose our top 100 geosites.
