This is one of the quarries here, a part of the former Chinnor Chalk Pit, now flooded and known as Old Kiln Lakes. The lakes are freshwater, but very alkaline, and there was a warning to the public issued in 2012 to not swim in there.

It's a striking and moon-like place, looking very dramatic and slightly out-of-this-world. A definite must!
