Education

Please ask us if you want any advice on what to do with a school or adult group visit to one of our Local Geology Sites.
Many of our sites make an interesting self-led visit, the choice depending on age and experience.
School visits to Coombs Quarry and to Whiteleaf Nature Reserve are good for a multi-disciplinary approach.

Sites suitable for visits by individuals or groups are shown in the following list.

• Bradenham
• Brill
• Buckingham Sand Pit
• College Lake
• Coombs Quarry
• Northmoor Hill
• Olney
• Ridgeway/the Kimbles
