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.

Hotel was nice and welcome was good. I was rudely awaken at 5am in my room from the sound of deliveries and recycling glass bottles which is awful considering the reason we use hotels is to sleep. It has completely ruined my day with work due to tiredness I am now facing. Not one at all
