Rigs Sites In Dorset

Regionally Important Geological and Geomorphological Sites in Dorset have been selected from approximately 800 records of sites of geological interest held in the Dorset Environmental Records Centre, primarily for their potential as teaching sites. Brief descriptions and maps, together with the names of owners, agents and contacts, are held in the planning offices of the relevant District Council, in the Dorset Environmental Records Centre, the Dorset Wildlife Trust, the Dorset County Museum and the Dorset Countryside Service. Anyone wishing to visit any of these sites MUST OBTAIN PERMISSION FROM THE OWNERS, and have their own insurance cover, as D.I.G.S. cannot accept any responsibility. Contact telephone numbers and further detailed information sheets on some sites may be obtained from the Dorset Wildlife Trust, phone 01305.264620. Leaflets on the geology of Brownsea Island and the disused quarry at Crack Lane, Langton Matravers may be obtained from The National Trust on the island or at their Corfe Castle study centre.
