THEMATIC TRAILS These guides are full of serious explanation, yet challenge us to question and interpret what we see. The reader is encouraged to observe, enquire and participate in a trail of discovery – Each trail is an information resource suitable for teachers to translate into field tasks appropriate to a wide range of ages. LANDSCAPES GEOLOGY AT HARTLAND QUAY Alan Childs & Chris Cornford In a short cliff-foot walk, along the beach at Hartland Quay, visitors are provided with a straightforward explanation of the dramatically folded local rocks and their history. Alternate pages provide a deeper commentary on aspects of the geology and in particular provide reference notes for students examining the variety of structures exhibited in this exceptionally clear location. A5. 40 pages. 47 figs. ISBN 0-948444-12-6 Thematic Trails 1989. £2.40 THE CLIFFS OF HARTLAND QUAY Peter Keene On a cliff-top walk following the Heritage Coast footpath to the south from Hartland Quay, coastal waterfalls, valley shapes and the form of the cliffs are all used to reconstruct a sequence of events related to spectacular coastal erosion along this coast. A5. 40 pages. 24 figs. ISBN 0-948444-05-3 Thematic Trails 1990. £2.40 LYN IN FLOOD, Watersmeet to Lynmouth P. Keene & D. Elsom A riverside walk from Watersmeet on Exmoor, follows the East Lyn downstream to Lynmouth and the sea. The variety of physical states of the East Lyn river is explained including spate and the catastrophic floods of 1952. A5. 48 pages. 36 figs. ISBN 0-948444-20-7 Thematic Trails 1990. £2.40 THE CLIFFS OF SAUNTON Peter Keene and Chris Cornford “If you really want explanations served up to you... then go elsewhere, but if you want to learn, by self-assessment if you like, start here. Ideally you should go there, to Saunton Sands, but it’s not absolutely necessary. The booklet is so cleverly done that you can learn much without leaving your armchair. Not that we are encouraging such sloth, you understand.” (Geology Today). A5. 44 pages. 30 figs. ISBN 0-048444-24-X Thematic Trails 1995. £2.40 SNOWDON IN THE ICE AGE Kenneth Addison Ken Addison interprets the evidence left by successive glaciers around Snowdon (the last of which melted only 10,000 years ago) in a way which brings together the serious student of the Quaternary Ice Age and the interested inquisitive visitor. A5. 30 pages. 18 figs. ISBN 0-9511175-4-8 Addison Landscape Publications. 1988. £3.60 THE ICE AGE IN CWM IDWAL Kenneth Addison The Ice Age invested Cwm Idwal with a landscape whose combination of glaciological, geological and floristic elements is unsurpassed in mountain Britain. Cwm Idwal is readily accessible on good paths within a few minutes walk of the A5 route through Snowdonia. A5. 21pages. 16 figs. ISBN 0-9511175-4-8 A. L. P. 1988. £3.60 THE ICE AGE IN Y GLYDERAU AND NANT FFRANCON Ice, in the last main glaciation, carved a glacial highway through the heart of Snowdonia so boldly as to ensure that Nant Ffrancon is amongst the best known natural landmarks in Britain. The phenomenon is explained in a way that is understandable to both specialist and visitor. A5. 30 pages. 21 figs. ISBN 0-9511175-3-X A.L.P. 1988. £3.60 ROCKS & LANDSCAPE OF ALSTON MOOR geological walks in the Nent Valley. Barry Webb & Brian Young (Ed. Eric Skipsey). On two walks in the North Pennines landscape, the authors unravel clues about how today’s rocks, fossils and landscape were formed and how men have exploited the geological riches of Alston Moor.’ A5. 28 pages, 40 figs. Cumbria Riggs 2002. £2.00 CITYSCAPES BRISTOL, HERITAGE IN STONE Eileen Stonebridge The walk explores the rich diversity of stones that make up the fabric of the City of Bristol. The expectation is that as the building stones become familiar, so comes the satisfaction of being able to identify common stones and their origin, perhaps before turning to the text for reassurance. A5. 40 pages. 60 figs. ISBN 0948444-36-3 Thematic Trails 1999. £2.40 BATH IN STONE a guide to the city’s building stones Elizabeth Devon, John Parkins, David Workman Compiled by the Bath Geological Society, the architectural heritage of Bath is explored, blending the recognition of building stones and the history of the city. A very useful walking guide both for visiting school parties, geologists and the interested nonspecialist visitor. A5. 48 pages. 36 illustrations. ISBN 0948444-38-X Thematic Trails 2001. £2.40 GLOUCESTER IN STONE, a city walk – Joe McCall This booklet was compiled by the Gloucestershire RIGS Group as an introduction to the geology of the city. Four compass-point streets radiate from Gloucester city centre. The first short walk, Eastgate Street, is, in essence a mental tool-kit for identifying some local common building stones and their history - a skill which can then be applied to any of the three following compass direction walks. A5. 40 pages. 39 illustrations. ISBN 0948444-37-1 Thematic Trails 1999. £2.40 GEOLOGY AND THE BUILDINGS OF OXFORD Paul Jenkins The walk is likened to a visit to an open air museum. Attention is drawn to the variety of building materials used in the fabric of the city. Their suitability, durability, susceptibility to pollution and weathering, maintenance and replacement is discussed. A5. 44 pages. 22 illustrations. ISBN 0-948444-09-6 Thematic Trails 1988. £2.40 EXETER IN STONE, AN URBAN GEOLOGY Jane Dove “Directed at ‘the curious visitor and interested non-specialists’, Thematic Trails Trust publications incorporate and translate professional knowledge from the academic literature to which members of the general public don’t have ready access....Exeter in Stone is a fine addition to the ever-expanding list of booklets on the building stones of British towns and cities.” (Geology Today). A5. 44 pages. 24 illustrations. ISBN 0-948444-27-4 Thematic Trails 1994. £2.40 GUIDE TO THE BUILDING STONES OF HUDDERSFIELD Two walks in central Huddersfield examine decorative polished building stones that have been brought into Huddersfield from many parts of the world to enhance the commercial and public buildings of the city. Huddersfield Geology Group. A5. 12 pages. 23 illustrations. £2.00 COASTAL EROSION AND MANAGEMENT WESTWARD HO! AGAINST THE SEA Peter Keene This ‘case study’ examines the history of coastal erosion at Westward Ho! and the many strategies for coastal defence adopted and discarded over the last 150 years. A5. 44 pages. 24 illustrations. ISBN 0-948444-34-7 Thematic Trails 1997. £2.40 DAWLISH WARREN AND THE SEA Peter Sims Within living memory Dawlish Warren in South Devon has dramatically changed its shape several times.
