More about this scene
This wooded area to the north of the town was laid out and intersected with walks in the latter half of the 19th century and remain today a pleasant, if steep walk to the northern rim of the bowl within which the town sits. Good views can be had of the town from the top of Corbar Hill and of the moorland to the north over Lightwood Reservoir. Nithen Quarry in the western Corbar Woods was a source of high quality gritstone. Stone from this quarry was used to build the Town Hall on the Market Place in 1888. The disused quarry now operates as a residential caravan park.
