Field visit - Huntley Quarry Reserve and Hobbs Quarry, Gloucestershire

10.30 – 3.30
22 July

Saturday 22 July (Field meeting): Huntley Quarry Reserve and Hobbs Quarry, Gloucestershire, led by John Moseley, Geowarden for the Gloucestershire Geology Trust. This is a joint meeting with the Lickey Hills Geo-Champions. Meet at 10.30 at the Huntley Country Garden Centre, Ross Road, Huntley, Gloucestershire, GL19 3EY - next to the church. At Huntley we will see exposures of the Huntley Quarry Beds (Late Ordovician - very early Silurian volcaniclastics) and Late Triassic red beds. We will also examine the Blaisdon Fault and associated structures, mass movements and mineralisation. Lunch will be at either one of the two local pubs or at the cafe in the garden centre, or bring a packed lunch. In the afternoon we will visit Hobbs Quarry, located 3km from Huntley Quarry to see Gloucestershire's equivalent of the Wenlock Limestone with very impressive bioherms and a chance to do some fossil hunting. Finish around 3.30.
