Newbold Quarry Park, Nature reserve with limestone quarry lake in Rugby, England.
The 11-hectare reserve features a deep water-filled quarry surrounded by woodlands, providing habitats for numerous bird species and aquatic life.
The Newbold Lime & Cement Company operated limestone extraction at this site from 1877 until 1910, with final attempts continuing until 1923.
Rugby Borough Council transformed the abandoned quarry into a protected nature reserve in 1991, establishing it as an educational center for local wildlife.
Visitors can access the reserve through Egerton Close car park, following partially wheelchair-accessible paths around the quarry lake.
The quarry's lime-rich waters support a population of native white-clawed crayfish alongside great crested grebes and various waterfowl species.
