Family open day held at Batts Combe Quarry

Heidelberg Materials held a family open day at its Batts Combe quarry at Warrens Hill in Cheddar on Saturday, July 30.

The drop-in event was open to all and included mini-bus tours of the quarry workings, various displays and a chance to see some of the quarry’s giant rock-moving machines in action.

Heidelberg Materials staff were on hand throughout the day to explain what goes on at the quarry as well as outlining future developments and plans for restoration of the site.

£256 was raised during the day for a donation to the Cheddar First School.
