Hazard Quarry
Right beside SX7559 : Lime kilns near Hazard Quarry, and described in detail at LinkExternal link (Archive LinkExternal link ) . "Medium sized limestone quarry. 200m long face and some smaller exposures. Quarry floor infilled and grassed over. A County Geological Site ... The quarry exposes a range of interesting geological features. The association of the quarry with the original lime
kilns is a feature of historical interest. The rocks present are limestones, overlain by volcanics forming a 30m high face. Fossil corals and stromatoporoids are present at the base. Small caves and other solution features are preserved." The face has been used for climbing in the past.
