West Quarry

West Quarry is a disused open cast slate quarry between Tintagel and Trebarwith on the north coast of Cornwall, South West England.

These towers are composed of inferior slate, which is why they have not been worked, and everything due south can be considered West Quarry.

The quarry workings can be seen easily from the South West Coast Path.

The ruined walls of small sheds that can still be seen may have been built after the quarry ceased operations, and it is unclear what function they served.

According to OS map history, the quarry was already disused by 1883 The quarries on this stretch of coast possibly date back to the 17th century[2]-nearby Lanterdan was in use as early as the fifteenth century.
