Hiking
The Hodge Close quarry is a huge excavation of light green slate, with steep walls and no fences, with an original depth of about 100 metres from the ground. The 45 metre deep wall is popular with abseilers, while the 45 metre deep, submerged, tunnels that extend below the surface are favoured by divers.
