New England Quarry
Yealmpton, South Hams, Devon
New England Quarry is a former dolomite quarry with some minor mineralisation in areas.
There is very limited information available about the site online;
As of 2015 there was an application to install a solar array and wind turbines on the site.
I suspect this means the site is completely overgrown/reclaimed now; it is difficult to tell whether the quarry was the whole or only part of the nature reserve.
