The Carrs SSSI and the adjoining Ferryhill Carrs Local Nature Reserve lie in a channel carved by glacial meltwater through magnesian limestone. Much of the low lying parts of the reserve are covered by water while the limestone slopes are covered by woodland and grassland. The apparatus seen in the background is the railhead loading facility for Thrislington Quarry.
