Part 1 of ‘A Wealden guide’ ( Geology Today , 2006, v.22, n.3) provided an introduction to the non‐marine Early Cretaceous Wealden strata of southern England, and an account of the succession that outcrops within the Weald Sub‐basin. This second article focuses on the Wealden of the Wessex Sub‐basin, exposed on the Isle of Wight and Dorset coasts of southern and south‐west England.
