Summary
| Description |
English: Nore Hill Pinnacle This site has two claims to fame: it is the smallest Local Nature Reserve in the country (variously described as 0.1hA and 0.01hA, although measurements from large scale maps would suggest that the former is nearer the truth) and when established in 1973 was the first geological LNR in England. What it contains is a "chalk pinnacle" formed by weathering some 40 million years ago, which was later surrounded by sand and gravel. The site was used for gravel workings, which is how the pinnacle was exposed. The surrounding area was subsequently used as a landfill site and then returned to grazing land, but the area immediately surrounding the pinnacle was retained. It sounds impressive, but from the layman's perspective, it looks more like a pile of rubble! |
