Spion Kop Quarry
Spion Kop Quarry () is a nature reserve in Gloucestershire in the Forest of Dean.〔 Kelham, A, Sanderson, J, Doe, J, Edgeley-Smith, M, et al., 1979, 1990, 2002 editions, 'Nature Reserves of the Gloucestershire Trust for Nature Conservation/Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust'〕
The site is managed by the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust and held under agreement with the Forestry Commission.〔 The site is listed in the 'Forest of Dean Local Plan Review' as a Key Wildlife Site (KWS).〔(Forest of Dean District Local Plan Review, adopted November 2005, Appendix D 'Nature Conservation Site Designations Within the Forest of Dean District', Key Wildlife Sites )〕
==Location and use==
The site is on Purples Hill and about one and a half miles to the east of Coleford. It lies in the middle of the Nagshead and Barnhill Plantations. It is a large, deep quarry and is considered to be the best example of a quarry in the Dean Coal Measures. The quarry's stone blocks would have been durable and much prized for buildings. The quarry is one of many in the Bixslade area which are on Pennant Sandstone.〔
The quarry became disused in the early 20th century. It is remote and has developed an interesting flora and fauna. As a consequence there are restrictions on the use of the rock faces for mountaineering purposes. In particular, no climbing is allowed in the nesting season, and the faces which have the best plant growth are not permitted in the climbing routes.〔
