    Tips

    December 15, 2022

    Ketton Quarry is very much still a working limestone site, but the nature reserve covers the parts of the area that have been reclaimed by nature. Grassland, scrub and woodland are making the most of the hills and holes formed by quarrying. This makes it an excellent site for butterflies, moths, wildflowers and reptiles, so this is seen at its best when visited in summer.

    It is one of the best sites in the area for both Adders and Grass Snakes and also supports a colony of Glow-worms. Some interesting geology has also be uncovered.
