National Stone Centre, Derbyshire
The National Stone Centre site contains six former quarries, four lime kilns and over one hundred and twenty disused lead mine shafts.
The National Stone Centre site covers 50 acres (20 Ha), about half of which is designated nationally as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) for its geological features. Almost all the site is of limestone deposited in Carboniferous times 330 million years ago.
