If you are applying for Geography, can you take Geology as another subject in the first year?

Yes. You can do both

What other related subjects can you take, Geoscience? Anything else?

You mean subjects related to Geography?

I know a lot of people taking Geoscience, Social Anthropology and Sustainable Development alongside Geography this year (it's what I'm doing too). If you like the physical side more you can take chemistry or even biology; if you prefer human geog then social anth. has a good overlap. Probably the best thing to do if you're unsure is to visit the subject fair/talks during freshers and see if anything takes your fancy.

You don't have to take something directly related to geog though; you could take film studies or art history if the timetable works out. The good thing about the module system is that you don't have to limit yourself.
