BGS Geology 625K | Open Data Downloads | Data | OS Data Hub

Generalised digital geological map data based on BGS’ published poster maps of the UK (north and south). Bedrock-related themes were created by generalisation of 1:50 000 data to make the 2007 fifth edition bedrock geology map.

The geological areas (or polygons) are labelled or attributed with a name based on their lithostratographical, chronostratographical or lithodemic nomenclature and their composition (rock type or lithology). Faults and other linear features are available in a separate theme.

Geology maps are the foundation for many other types of earth science-related maps and are of potential use to a wide range of customers. This dataset uses the themes: (i) bedrock geology; (ii) dykes; and (iii) linear (faults) features.
