Doulting Stone Quarry, Limestone quarry in Doulting, Somerset, England.
The quarry produces high-quality oolitic limestone, featuring a 2-meter thick layer of stone that dates back to the middle Jurassic period.
The quarry operations trace back to Roman times and supplied materials for the construction of Glastonbury Abbey and the west facade of Wells Cathedral.
The extracted Doulting stone represents a fundamental element in Somerset's architectural identity, shaping the regional building traditions over centuries.
Located at coordinates 51.1902, -2.50158, the quarry maintains over 200,000 tonnes of limestone reserves and provides both primary and secondary cutting services.
The stone formation originated in shallow coastal waters, creating a distinct unconformity between the oolite and the underlying Carboniferous limestone.
