    Hiking

    The Hodge Close quarry is one of the many slate quarries in the Tilberthwaite valley, between Langdale and Coniston. This quarry was worked until the early 1960s.
    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.

    Mountain biking

    Hodge Close Quarry is one of many slate workings in the Tiberthwaite Valley. It's a beautiful natural moment characterised by giant boulders and dense forest. On the other side of the quarry is a great singletrack.
