Sugars Quarry Walk

Join us for a walk to Sugars Quarry. Starting from the upper car park, we’ll trek for only 20 minutes until we reach the quarry. While there, professional historian Judith Nissen will provide a fascinating breakdown of Sugars Quarry’s history and remaining industrial heritage.

With sloping terrain and uneven ground, the trek caters to all with average fitness, plus we’ve arranged disability and wheelchair access to the lookout, ensuring everyone can join! 

Enclosed walking shoes are a must, and if the weather’s favorable, consider sunscreen and insect repellent. 

Bottles of water will be provided, and the entire event will take two hours, with no need for RSVP – everyone is invited!
