Geodiversity sites in Northumberland National Park

Crinkledykes Lime KilnA number of Geodiversity sites have been identified as part of this study. They have been selected as representative examples of particular geological features in the context of Northumberland National Park and surrounding area. They do not replace, but stand alongside, SNCIs, SSSIs and other designated sites.

It is recommended that this site list should form the basis for undertaking actions 2 to 6 in the preceding Northumberland National Park Geodiversity Action Plan. It is anticipated that the list will be revised during implementation of the Action Plan.
