A quick reminder for next time \u2013 AVOID VISTING AT WEEKENDS<\/p>\n

The quarry is a superb, wildlife reserve managed by Derbyshire Wildlife Trust. Unfortunately it\u2019s adjacent to the Monsal Trail – a former railway line now used for speed testing mini motorbikes. The noise bouncing back off the quarry cliff face is deafening. It even drowned out the cries from the young Kestrels on the cliff face.<\/p>\n

Highlights at this time of the year were the masses of Chalk Fragrant Orchids, Dark Green Fritillaries and the various herbs. Quite a heady scent on a warm summer\u2019s afternoon (would be better without the addition of 2 stroke fumes). Perhaps unsurprisingly the Fritillaries wouldn\u2019t settle therefore no photo\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
