Threshfield Quarry
Threshfield Quarry was worked for 100 years until 2000. It is now being helped to return to nature and industrial machinery and buildings have been cleared. Paths have been built and some planting done. Ponds are being used to give a sanctuary to native crayfish.

Barden Moor forms the horizon.
