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.

Crich Hill Beacon and Regimental War Memorial

Highlight • Monument

For the Queen’s Jubilee, Crich Parish Council with the collaboration of the Sherwood Foresters built a beacon on the site which, fired by propane gas took part in the 'Fires over England' celebrations.

The site is said to have many beacons previously and was likely part of the chain used in 1588 to warn of the approaching Spanish Armada.
