EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo, nature reveals its playful side as it transforms a former whinstone quarry into a stunning underwater wonderland. The flooded quarry, located near Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland National Park, surprises visitors with its mesmerizing beauty. As you gaze at the image captured by FLPA photographer Angela Hampton, your eyes are drawn to the exposed rockface that stands tall amidst the crystal-clear waters. The dolerite tabular rocks of the great Whin Sill formation create a dramatic backdrop for this aquatic spectacle. Imagine taking a refreshing dip in these temperate waters during an English summer! This hidden gem offers not only respite from the heat but also an opportunity to explore one of Europe's most unique landscapes. As you swim through layers of moorland and uplands, you'll be surrounded by breathtaking views and quarried cliffs that seem straight out of a fantasy novel. The tranquility of this freshwater oasis is enhanced by its remote location within Northumberland National Park. It serves as both a sanctuary for wildlife and an escape for adventurous souls seeking solace in nature's embrace. So grab your snorkel gear or simply marvel at this extraordinary sight from afar – either way, let yourself be enchanted by Mother Nature's whimsical creation at Cawfields Quarry.
