Old limestone quarries that have been opened to explain how the area used to be the shoreline. Interesting details to read and lots of old, overgrown quarries to explore. Some of the cliff faces are used by climbers and there are occasional caves and a lot of industrial heritage.
The Centre is free to visit and includes a cafe which is recommended.
With all the cliff edges, be careful, particularly with children.
The information centre also has a gem panning pond (chargeable) suitable for younger children.
