In addition, a wide range of other topics will be covered during the trip. These include the geomorphology and land management of the South Downs National Park (SDNP), the significance of Stonehenge, the geology and palaeontology of Lyme Bay, as well as relevant / interesting local history, sustainability and English literature and links with landscape and environment.
