Landscape of the North York Moors

Rocks and Landscape of the North York Moors by Roger Osborne is a 50-page book that will increase your appreciation of what lies beneath your feet as you walk around Rosedale or anywhere else across the North York Moors.

Dramatic Sea-Cliffs Expose the Underlying Geology of the North York Moors.

Roger Osborne begins with a short overview of the Jurassic rocks which underlie the Moors.

The book provides good diagrams of the successive rock types to which you can refer back as needed.

Roger has then chosen 19 popular places to describe the underlying geology and landscape in a little more detail.

These places include Sutton Bank, the Tabular Hills, Hole of Horcum, Rosedale and Forge Valley.

Each place is illustrated by photographs and diagrams.

And Roger explains how the various rock types have influenced the topography of the location sitting above.

In each chapter of the book, a typical rock formation and its associated fossils are also described.

You can find the book on amazon or by searching on the internet.
