Announcement
We have a new website! We will be closing down this website by the end of the year and encourage you to visit and bookmark the new site. In addition to information about society events, the new site aims to provide greater access to information, learning and insights into the geology of Westmorland and Low Furness.
Welcome to our website
The Westmorland Geological Society is based in Kendal and our objectives are to share and develop geological knowledge. Our members have a great range of interests, expertise and ages from beginners to professional geoscientists. We host a winter lecture programme and tutorials on a broad range of geoscience topics. In summer we run a field trip programme exploring the wide range of local geology. We welcome anyone with an interest in geology or the landscape of our beautiful area.
