==History==
Line 77:
Approximately a right-angled triangle, the borough is long north to south. It uses as its longest edge the course of the [[River Loddon|Loddon]] and [[River Thames|Thames]] along its north-west, with a similarly salient-containing eastern boundary and an almost straight southern boundary. Clockwise the boundaries are approximately 10, 8 and 5 miles on a direct path from point to point. The southern boundary is approximately the [[Roman road from London to Bath]] through a highly coniferous [[Swinley Forest]] which sits in geology on the naturally acidic, [[Bagshot Formation]].{{Citation needed|date=April 2021}}
