My walking guidebook explains how this limestone quarry was disused by the 1970's and plans were then afoot "to turn it into an 'equestrian playground' for proitable use". Today the OS 1:25,000 map marks it as Nantmawr Quarry (Mountain Bike Centre). What do you do with a huge hole in the ground? It is so big you could fit both ventures at least into it. It is well fenced for safety.
