I took a trip down to the National Stone Center on the 20.08.2023, during the 100th Anniversary of the Institute Of Quarrying.
All the staff were very friendly and the site is accessible with many areas being on gentle slopes. Some areas have tight uphill paths but the major vistas can be easily accessed.
Around the location there are plenty of information points detailing the history, relevance, and utility of the various structures found through out the area.
Improvements are being considered for the site so it may look a little different than what is pictured. With this in mind the site boasts various scenic locations with stunning views that any nature lover would enjoy.
The coffee was about £3.
Great place to visit with children. Free entry (just pay for parking). Lots to see and do, and a great cafe. The gift shop has lots of lovely stones to buy, but also some reasonably priced ones for the kids. We really enjoyed our visit.
It's so interesting! Lovely walk around the trail where you learn about the geology of the area, and you can spot the fossils that would have been in the ocean! We finished off at the cafe for tea and fruit caje, which was delicious! Highly recommend this place.
