Greylake, Geological site and natural reserve in Somerset, United Kingdom
The Greylake site extends across 9.3 hectares of low-lying fields in the northwestern section of King's Sedgemoor within the Somerset Levels region.
The location received its Site of Special Scientific Interest designation in 1987, marking its importance for displaying complete sequences of Pleistocene Burtle Beds.
Scientists and researchers regularly visit Greylake to study its geological formations, including fluvial gravels, marine intertidal silts, and marine subtidal deposits.
The reserve maintains two trails for visitors: a 700-meter Easy-Access Trail with level surfaces and a 0.75-mile Reedbed Loop Trail on grass terrain.
Greylake contains diverse assemblages of mollusks, ostracods, and foraminifera, along with evidence of ancient mammals including red deer and aurochs.
