DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Geology of the Country Near Leicester: Explanation of Sheet 156 The soil of the Country, being in the main derived from the under lying formations, is mostly clay of a very retentive character. It is diversified here and there by beds of sand and gravel, which render it much lighter. This is particularly the case with the alluvial gravel that occurs along the margin of the Soar valley, especially about Syston. In the eastern part of the area the Rock-bed of the Middle Lias, where not covered by Drift, also forms a light rubbly soil, that is the best arable land in the district. In consequence of the large proportion of heavy clay land the greater part of the country is devoted to grazing purposes, and is noted for its extensive pastures and its renown as a hunting district.
