Seale Chalk Pit, Geological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Surrey, United Kingdom.
Located on the southern flank of the Hog's Back, this 1.2-hectare chalk pit reveals distinct layers of sedimentary rock formations and geological structures.
The site operated as a working quarry until the 1930s, contributing to local mineral extraction activities along the Hog's Back region of Surrey.
Scientists and researchers study the site to understand the separation between the Mesozoic rocks of the Weald and Tertiary sediments of the London Basin.
Access to the site requires advance permission through Surrey Wildlife Trust, as the area maintains restricted entry for conservation purposes.
The former quarry now supports over 130 species of chalk grassland plants, including orchids, cowslips, and specific butterfly populations.
