Holme Park Quarry Local Nature Reserve (LNR) is a small, but key, part of the limestone landscape that occupies much of the land from Farleton Knott in the north, to Lancelot Clarke Storth and Plain Quarry in the south, and to Hutton Roof in the east.
The quality of the limestone pavement and the role of the sites for butterflies in particular, make this whole area significant for both wildlife and geology.
Much of the land is now designated as a series of nature reserves.
