Man-made volcano

Well not really, it is in fact a view over to ‘Buckton Vale Quarry’ near the small town of Mossley and nearby Carbrook. We have followed the ‘New Direction’ road as seen in the preceding picture and now we have this fine winter vista. We had intended to walk down to the foot of that large dome where there is yet another small reservoir but these dark clouds forced us to turn tail.

ps the quarry is used for gritstone and sandstone extraction.
