Description

Sundon Chalk Quarry is een biologische 26,2 hectare grote speciale wetenschappelijke belangstelling in Upper Sundon in Bedfordshire. Het werd in 1989 aangemeld onder Sectie 28 van de Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, en de lokale planningsautoriteit is de Central Bedfordshire Council. De site is particulier eigendom, maar er is gratis toegang voor het publiek.
De groeve werd opgericht om kalk en mergel te leveren voor de cementfabriek van Sundon, die tussen 1899 en 1976 heeft gefunctioneerd. De site maakt deel uit van een groot complex van ongebruikte kalkgroeven, en de verschillende habitats omvatten moerassen, meren, kalkgraslanden, struikgewas en bossen. Interessante kalklandplanten die hier worden aangetroffen zijn onder andere de spijkerwortel, wilde zoethout en wollige distel, en waarschijnlijk de grootste kolonie van de Chilterngentiaan in Engeland.
