Description
"Abandoned in the 1930s, this former magnesian limestone quarry is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, nationally recognised for the plant life it supports. Unusual species abound on the thin limestone soils, such as blue moor grass, moonwort, autumn gentian and fairy flax, and there are a range of orchid species including pyramidal, common spotted, fragrant and bee orchid, but most significant are the large numbers of rare dark red helleborines...".
