Heol Senni Quarry

Description

Heol Senni Quarry is a disused quarry in Brecknockshire, Powys, Wales. It is a Site of Special Scientific Interest because of the geological strata it reveals and the fossil remains of pterapsids which have been found here. The quarry is also used recreationally for paragliding.

Heol Senni is a hamlet in the valley of the Afon Senni just north of the Fforest Fawr section of the Brecon Beacons National Park. The Welsh name means the 'road by Senni' and reflects its position near the crossing of the river by the minor road running from the A4067 road to the A4215 road. The Heol Senni Quarry is on the hillside to the southwest of the village and was quarried for stone extensively in the nineteenth century. The quarry is also used for paragliding, and is said to be excellent for thermalling and crosscountry flying.
