Bishop Middleham Quarry
Bishop Middleham Quarry ceased work as a quarry in 1934 and is now managed as a Nature Reserve by the Durham Wildlife Trust. The quarry was designated as a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) in 1968 because of the range of plant and animal life adapted to the thin magnesian limestone soils.
