To find the visitor centre, turn right off the B6267, just before you enter the village of Nosterfield as you head in the direction of Masham. It has a stone 'Nosterfield Quarry' sign marking the turning. It is then an immediate left turn into the car park.

We will be outdoors for the morning, so please wear appropriate clothing for the weather conditions. Bring a waterproof and sturdy footwear, along with a hat and suncream if warm weather is forecast. Thank you.
