Part of Nantmawr Quarry
You cannot get a full view into the quarry from here for obvious reasons but the site looks safe and well maintained. The map marks it as Nantmawr Quarry Mountain Bike Centre and I can only see one piece of evidence for mountain bike use. I hope it is well used. What can you operate within a huge disused quarry? Climbing walls? Rifle range? Clay pigeon shooting? Quad-biking? Paintball combat? Go-karting? Many might work but may well be opposed on noise pollution grounds. Paintball would be a winner I would think...

Footpath and track beside Nantmawr Quarry
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.
