Notgrove Railway Cutting, Geological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Gloucestershire, England.
The railway cutting extends through 1.7 hectares of land, revealing multiple layers of Middle Jurassic limestone formations and fossil-rich sediments.
The site originated as part of the Great Western Railway's Banbury and Cheltenham Direct Railway line, which operated from 1881 until its closure in 1962.
Scientists and geologists regularly visit this location to study the complete section of Clypeus grit, which spans approximately 12 meters in height.
The cutting contains notable geological features including Notgrove Freestone, Upper Trigonia Grit, and extensive Clypeus grit formations accessible for research purposes.
