British Geological Survey (BGS): 625k Onshore Geology (3rd Party Data)
The British Geological Survey (BGS) is a UK provider of geoscientific data, information and knowledge. Natural Resources Wales has licenced access to a number of BGS datasets. This particular spatial data is a collation of licenced data from BGS Geology 625k DiGMapGB-625, all of which depict the data at a scale of 1:625,000.

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). This information is arranged in two themes: bedrock geology and superficial deposits. 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.
