Welcome to the Cornwall RIGS website ...

... Geology is everywhere you look - under your feet, on the roof tops and even in your paper and toothpaste! And the rocks of Cornwall have an amazing story to tell.

"A journey of 8000 miles in just 400 million years. Across tropical seas and deserts, through volcanic eruptions and hot granite with mineral vapours rich in tin and copper, to frozen tundra"

Explore this website and discover for yourself all about Cornish Geology, how it's conserved for all of us to enjoy and where the best places are to experience it.
