Description
Spargo Quarry is a former granite quarry covering approximately 18.5 acres of land in Cornwall. The site is surrounded by countryside and is situated near Penryn and Falmouth, offering easy access to the area's amenities. The quarry features dramatic rock faces, flooded workings, and areas of natural regeneration, creating a striking and rugged landscape.
The site is designated as 'open access' land, a County Wildlife Site, and is located within a Mineral Safeguarding Area for building stone. The site has an active planning consent, but has not been worked for some time, and any recommencement of quarrying would require a detailed scheme approved by the Mineral Planning Authority.
