The
solid geology beneath the town.
Geologists call any rock or sediment older than 2 million years the 'solid' geology. They regard any Ice Age or younger sediments as icing on the cake.
The rocks beneath Wallingford are mostly Lower Chalk (a soft chalky mud) with Upper Greensand in the northwest part of town.
