SUMMARY: A ‘Geowalk’ around the “Dudley Volcano”- Mike Allen
DESCRIPTION:A ‘Geowalk’ to be led by Mike Allen at Barrow Hill Nature Reserve\, north of the A4101\, 3 km west of Dudley. The walk will offer a glimpse of the Midlands in late Carboniferous times\, with a mixed sequence of sedimentary and volcanic rocks including small intrusive bodies of microgabbro (dolerite). The walk will include a visit to the summit of Barrow Hill\, from which there are good views of surrounding hills if conditions are favorable. \n\n\n\nExposures are\, unfortunately\, not at their best but are sufficient to present a record of the geological\, prehistorical and industrial history of the area\, as we follow trails over Barrow Hill and around the wider vicinity. \n\n\n\nApproximate walking distance 2-3 miles (3-5 km) mostly on gravel tracks\, locally muddy\, steep or stepped in places; with ‘off-piste’ options into thickly wooded and overgrown (!) areas on rough and narrow tracks. A short diversion into Tansey Green claypit can be wet and muddy underfoot. \n\n\n\nProgress will be at a modest pace\, planning to finish around 3.00 – 3.30 p.m. \n\n\n\nFor more information please click here \n\n\n\nThe summit cross on Barrow Hill\n\n\n\nAn ‘honest’ current (April) view of columnar jointing in the Eastern Quarry
