Perryfield Quarry, Working stone quarry in Portland, United Kingdom.
Perryfield Quarry contains substantial reserves of dimension Portland stone, featuring various grades including Basebed, Roach, Shelly, and Whitbed varieties.
The quarry began operations in the 1890s and received modern quarrying planning consent in 1951, continuing to supply stone for major construction projects.
The extracted Whitbed stone from this quarry has been incorporated into significant British structures, including Westminster Abbey and Waterloo Bridge in London.
Visitors require advance permission from Portland Stone Firms Ltd and must wear safety equipment including hard hats, high visibility jackets, and steel toe-cap boots.
A large Titanites ammonite fossil stands at the quarry entrance, while the site includes a 1.2-hectare butterfly nature reserve designated in 1998.
