Dist:0.7km<br/>With limestone strata from the Permian period, 270 million years ago. The area has been heavily quarried over many generations, with the stone used for building, burning for lime and railway ballast. In 1945, Alderman Spence designated Quarry Moor as a play area for the "Children of Ripon" for all time.

Dist:0.8km<br/>This end is much smoother than the middle and north end. The sign nearby says that this was due to mechanical quarrying. Above the limestone are glacial drifts deposited towards the end of the last Ice Age.
