Aggregates extraction sites are found throughout the Geopark. These sites cluster around the Abberley and Malvern Hills, the May Hill area and the Wyre Forest. In the past disused quarries were often used as landfill sites, nowadays they are more likely to be sympathetically restored and transformed into nature reserves. Increasingly disused quarries are conserved for their geodiversity as well as their biodiversity and quarry sites are managed to benefit local communities ensuring they have access to important Earth heritage sites. There are six aggregate trails in the Geopark. For details click here.
