Harehope Quarry

The Harehope Quarry Project is located on the edge of Frosterley and is a short walk from the cottage.

It is a workers co-operative offering environmental education, field studies, rural skills training, community development, and community arts. Based in a former limestone quarry in the North Pennines, the project presents a unique environment for study, relaxing, volunteering opportunities, community events and a meeting place with a difference.

Harehope Quarry is a multi-faceted project. Their aim is to practically demonstrate a more sustainable way of living. We promote integrated and sustainable rural development through a range of social, economic and environmental activities.
