Nash Scar - 1
Image: © Trevor Rickard Taken: 18 Feb 2008
The old quarry track heading north-east is dwarfed by the size of this slice off the side of the hill. The Nash Scar is formed of Woolhope limestone which was subsequently fused into one crystalline mass of igneous rock, perhaps the best example of such rock in the UK. This quarry was a major source of crushed rock, but for the time being it seems to be resting.
