The RIGS information for Shropshire is hosted by the County Council's corporate GIS on behalf of the Shropshire Geological Society. This may be accessed by the general public using ShropMap. Only locations of sites accessible or visible from public rights of way are shown here. For further details, including geological details and site boundaries, please refer to ShropMap.

The overall distribution of RIGS within Shropshire is shown below, with detail provided by licensed Ordnance Survey mapping.

Use the controls to change scale and location.

Each RIGS location is shown by a red circle. Click on it to obtain the identification number for that RIGS (the "RIGS_ID"). Refer to the separate table using the RIGS_ID to locate further details for that specific site of interest.

A blue number indicates a cluster of RIGS; increase the scale to reveal individual site locations.

Please be aware that the display of a site on these maps does not necessarily indicate public access. Only those sites where there is public access or the landowners have given their permission for visits are shown. In all cases, prior permission should always be sought when wishing to visit private land. Be aware that Shropshire is a rural county and that a landowner's livelihood often depends on successful farming. This may mean that permission to visit may be withheld at particular times of the year, for instance when animals are about to give birth or crops are at a sensitive stage of development. You must respect the landowners' wishes and at all times follow the Countryside Code.
