Dist:0.2km<br/>The prominent 'volcano' to the left of the picture is a pot kiln for burning lime. The rough ground behind it is where the limestone was quarried to feed the kiln. This is an early 19th century site.

Dist:0.5km<br/>The edges of Grin Low quarry are steep with crumbling rock faces, not a good idea to try climbing them without the proper equipment. Grin Low quarry was originally used for extracting lime and limestone; this went on until the 1950's when production was halted. An attempt to reopen it for roadstone in the 1967 was short-lived after being thwarted by public protests and closed again in 1972. In the late 1970s Derbyshire County Council, together with Buxton and District Civic Society started on an extensive reclamation project, which has transformed the site into an attractive country park. The floor of the quarry now houses the car park and a large caravan site
