Traffic calming at Cassop
Vehicles approaching the village of Cassop from the south-west by the B6291 are required to make turns through a small chicane. Vehicles leaving the village that way have to make the same manoeuvre but additionally must give way to incoming traffic. One of those County Durham, blue and yellow road signs is in the image too.

Old Waggonway, Quarrington Hill
The Magnesian Limestone in this area has been heavily quarried, while the underlying coal seams have also been extensively worked. The early 19th Century mines and quarries produced a network of local waggonways and inclines connecting the various workings with the network of waggonways and early railways distributing the produce. Many of these have left scars across the finger of Limestone that separates Quarrington and Cassop vale, such as the cutting seen here.

Former Limestone Quarry
Magnesian limestone was the reason for the quarry and it is now the reason why the Cassop Vale has been designated a National Nature Reserve. The thin lime rich soils encourages rare plants such as blue moor grass, rock-rose and bird's eye primrose.
