Hill Hole Quarry, Markfield

A place for lunch on the slopes of Hill Hole Quarry, sheltered from the cold January wind in 2004.

"This old granite quarry is now managed as a nature reserve. Part of the site is flooded and this is securely fenced off. It is one of the highest points in Leicestershire and offers good view across Markfield and towards Leicester. Its developed was funded by Leicestershire County Council FLAG and Shire Grants and National Forest tree planting grants."
