About
Bishop Middleham Quarry Nature Reserve is a forest in lowlands. Established 1982. (Disused quarry in County Durham, England.) According to Wikipedia: "Bishop Middleham Quarry is a disused quarry, about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) north-west of Sedgefield, County Durham, England. Quarry-working here ceased in 1934, and the site has since been colonised by vegetation. The underlying rock is Magnesian Limestone and this has had a strong influence in determining the range of plant and animal communities now found there."
