Hiking
In the Derbyshire village of Crich is a small historic limestone quarry, called Cliff Quarry, dating back to Roman times. In the last few centuries, it was used to supply limestone for ironworks. It has been permanently closed since 2013 and is now abandoned. The machinery has been heavily vandalised since its closure, but the buildings and structures themselves are still there.
