In short, the quarry closed in 2010 and was previously owned by Bardon Aggregates.
A few years ago, there was talk of turning it into a water park, but that idea never progressed. Currently, it consists of a large actual quarry and a few gantries, machinery and control rooms.
Overlooking the quarry is the Crich Memorial Monument. The annual Regimental Pilgrimage and service at the Crich Memorial, commemorating the opening of the Battle of the Somme, is held on the first Sunday in July.
PLEASE DO NOT FLY ON THE FIRST SUNDAY OF JULY.
Thank you.

I’ve flown here but can anyone flying here please avoid flying over the museum grounds. We have had in the past drones buzzing our trams and flying dangerously close to the overhead wiring
