What to expect
Foggintor Quarry is a former granite quarry located in Dartmoor, Devon, UK. The quarry has been transformed into a picturesque lake surrounded by granite cliffs, with the remains of industrial ruins and old quarry waste. Visitors can explore the site, which features a still, deep lake and a flat walking route that follows the former railway lines. The area is home to wildlife such as sheep, cattle, ponies, and frogs. The site has extreme drops and deep water, so caution is advised, especially for families with children. The surrounding landscape offers breathtaking views of the moorland, with Great Mis Tor and Little Mis Tor visible in the distance. The nearby Two Bridges Hotel is a great spot to stop for tea and cake after a visit to the quarry
