Abstract
Both Namurian and Westphalian deposits are found in North Wales (Figure 8.1). The best known occur in a belt up to 11 km wide, that extends between the Dee Estuary and Oswestry. This includes the Flint-Derbyshire Coalfield which, until relatively recently, was still being actively mined. The Westphalian also outcrops in the Vale of Clwyd (between Dyserth and Ruthin), near Caernarvon, and on Anglesey.
