Section across southern England showing the inverted nature of the Weald Basin. The Weald Basin (/ ˈ w iː l d /) is a major topographic feature of the area that is now southern England and northern France from the Triassic to the Late Cretaceous. Its uplift in the Late Cretaceous marked the formation of the Wealden Anticline.
The geological map shows the High Weald in lime green (9a). The Low Weald, [18] the periphery of the Weald, is shown as darker green on the map (9), [19] and has an entirely different character. It is in effect the eroded outer edges of the High Weald, revealing a mixture of sandstone outcrops within the underlying clay.
The Ashdown Formation is a geological unit, which forms part of the Wealden Group and the lowermost and oldest part of the now unofficial Hastings Beds.These geological units make up the core of the Weald in the English counties of East Sussex and Kent.
The Tunbridge Wells Sand Formation is a geological unit which forms part of the Wealden Group and the uppermost and youngest part of the unofficial Hastings Beds.These geological units make up the core of the geology of the Weald in the English counties of West Sussex, East Sussex and Kent.
The Wadhurst Clay Formation is a geological unit which forms part of the Wealden Group and the middle part of the now unofficial Hastings Beds.These geological units make up the core of the geology of the High Weald in the English counties of West Sussex, East Sussex and Kent.

High Rocks is a key geomorphological site for sandstone weathering features developed on the highest cliffs in the Weald.The Ardingly Sandstone has suffered gentle deformation, and joints have opened out to form spectacular gulls (tension cracks) which are wide enough in places for a person to enter.
Forming part of the Weald, a former dense forest in Sussex, Surrey and Kent, it runs to and from the East Sussex coast, wrapping around the High Weald and Low Weald. It reaches its highest elevation, 294 metres (965 ft), at Leith Hill in Surrey—the second highest point in south-east England , while another hill in its range, Blackdown , is ...
