Walked from the tourist information point up a very wet, soggy track towards the largest quarry at the base of Hay Tor.
In typical January weather, the water level was high and we faced rain and hail upon arrival but the quarry didn't disappoint. Perfect spot to enjoy our sandwiches!

The granite here was among the hardest obtainable anywhere in Britain. It was used in the building of the British Museum and London Bridge. (the one now in Arizona)
I would love to visit the Quarry again in the summer to see the Fringed Water lilys and the dragon-flies that are often seen here.

A fantastic spot full of loads of history.
