Shepshed

Travel Guide

Morley Quarry, Shepshed, looking south. Charnwood Borough Council acquired this site, ostensibly to equip for climbing. Although it isn't actually much good for climbing, it does show the outline of a wadi (desert stream) bed infilled with Triassic-Rhaetic marls at the top of the southern face. The eastern face, seen here, reveals northward sloping Charnwood volcanics of Precambrian age. The quarry would have been built to excavate one of the many syenite intrusions in Charnwood Forest.

Mound by quarry The mound is either the remains of a hill or a large mound of quarry waste. A large quarry is just over the top.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,396 reviews)
Hotel was lovely and the beds were comfortable. Really pleasant staff and would recommend the hotel. However wasn’t a fan of 5 WhatsApp messages plus Expedia messages from them think it was a bit too much. Apart from that everything else was great
