How to Find Clints Quarry

 Clints Quarry is located just off the A5086, a short distance North of Egremont.

 Cars can be parked in a layby just next to the path that leads into the quarry. It is suggested that before entering the quarry you carry on across the bridge next to the layby and follow the path upwards on your left. This will take you to a viewing point above the quarry which has an information board telling you about the wildlife and geology of the location.

 From here return to the road and follow the path signposted for the quarry. You will walk up and down some steps and through some woodland and then enter the quarry.

There is a rough track around the outskirts of the quarry. Follow this and stop off when you see areas of scree. The best area is in the far left hand corner.
