Welcome to the embryonic web site cum blog of the Teme Valley Geological Society.  We have this week been working hard on the Nubbins sandstone quarry, source of much building material for Martley and surrounds, including the church, part of the wall down to the village and also my cellar.  A visit to the Nubbins is to be incorporated into a new geological ramble, distance approx 2.5 miles,

round the centre of Martley, starting and finishing with the church.  This ancient quarry which we are currently starting to research is a glorious spot, especially on a warm evening.  Thanks to the kindness of the Bray family, local farmers, visitors are welcome as long as they take care and do no damage.  We plan a trail up to the face then visitors can traverse left (west) and right (east), with high and low level paths.  Please do NOT go right against the rocks–you will see many large boulders, just ready to tumble, perhaps held in place by fragile looking tree roots, that would cause a great deal of damage should they fall and contact part of you!
