This OGC WFS service provides bedrock onshore geology data for the whole of the United Kingdom at a scale of 1:625,000, derived from the DiGMap dataset maintained by the British Geological Survey (BGS). It forms part of the OneGeology-Europe initiative, which aims to create harmonised, interoperable geological map data across Europe. Layers can be displayed either by geological age or by lithology, allowing users to explore bedrock characteristics across the country. Access is provided for personal, non-commercial use only.Data from the DiGMap covering the whole of the United Kingdom at a scale of 1:625 000 is available in this OGC WFS service for personal, non-commercial use only.
