BGS Bedrock and Superficial geology

The 1:625k DiGMap data covering the whole of the United Kingdom is available in this OGC WMS service for all uses - including commercial use subject to the conditions in the Access Constraints section. It is being served as a contribution to the OneGeology initiative (www.onegeology.org). Separate bedrock geology and superficial deposits layers are available in this service. Layers available for bedrock are lithostratigraphy, age, and lithology. Layers available for superficial deposits layer are lithostratigraphy and lithology. A layer is also provided for the UK Continental Shelf BGS 1:1M simplified seabed sediments.
