Coombefield Quarry

It is situated near the island's southernmost village Southwell.

Coombefield South also holds a stock of dimension stone blocks.

[4][5][6] In 2009 national news was made when a 135-million-year-old fossilised dinosaur footprint was stolen from the quarry.

In 2012 plans were unveiled for the quarry to be regenerated as a holiday caravan park to boost local tourism on the island.

The £3-5million holiday park and leisure complex would include 250 static caravans, 110 holiday lodges and 35 camping pods, and the plans also include leisure facilities.
