Coombefield Quarry

Coombefield Quarry is a former limestone quarry which produced several nice mineral specimens including baryte, calcite, and malachite and numerous types of fossils.
Numerous dinosaur footprints were found on the site, and unfortunately one was stolen in 2009.

This quarry is no longer active as far as I can tell, and covers the old quarry known as ‘Suckthumb Quarry’ as well. Suckthumb Quarry is now completely backfilled it seems.
