Hiking
There is a lot of history associated with Quarry Lane LNR, beginning at the Field Mill Dam at the eastern end of the site. Alongside the restaurant once stood a large stone water powered cotton mill, which was built around 1877-89. Alongside the LNR is an old quarry, called ‘Lindley's Quarry’, where huge blocks of stone were transported into the town centre where they were cut into smaller manageable pieces.
