takes the visitor on a 4,500 million-year journey that shows
how life has evolved and how today's environment is shaped
by materials which date from the very beginnings of the earth.
En route, five trail stops around the lake tell the story
of how the Thames valley has changed since the dawn of time.
At Stop 1 we see the volcanoes that first created the landscape.
Stop 2 leaps 4,300 million years to the age of the dinosaurs.
Stop 3 shows the formation of the London Basin, the Thames
Valley in its earliest form. Stop 4 depicts the Ice Ages,
when humans first appeared on the scene. Stop 5 shows man's
impact on the landscape.
