Here, you can find out more about various rocks that lie beneath the ground and affect the landscape in Bedfordshire. Some are hard and resistant like sandstone, limestone and chalk and form hills but others are soft such as clays which may erode into low ground. Each is different and so are the soils that form above them. This affect plants and wildlife and influences the choice of crops and livestock that farmers make. Many rocks are useful and have been quarried. Because of the geology, every place is unique and that’s why geology is special!
