SK5382 : Lindrick Dale Quarry

taken 12 years ago, near to Netherthorpe, Rotherham, England

Lindrick Dale Quarry
Lindrick Dale Quarry
Lindrick Dale Quarry is a disused Magnesian limestone quarry, highly valued for its notable invertebrate fauna. The quarry also hosts diverse limestone flora, containing many typically ‘lime-loving’ plants. Several of the invertebrate species found here are rare or declining.

A public footpath runs right through the quarry, entering at the lower right of this picture and then along the grassy floor into the woodland at the far end. There, the path climbs steadily before turning to follow the cliff edge, hidden here by the vegetation. On reaching the head of the quarry, the path turns sharply, offering this view before disappearing into Moses Seat Wood. The main access to the quarry is from Lindrick Dale off the A57 South Anston to Worksop road, but on foot can also be accessed from Bridge 35 (Thorpe Locks Bridge) on the Chesterfield Canal and crossing Fan Field to the head of the dale.
