Shepshed

Travel Guide

Morley Quarry, Shepshed, looking south. Charnwood Borough Council acquired this site, ostensibly to equip for climbing. Although it isn't actually much good for climbing, it does show the outline of a wadi (desert stream) bed infilled with Triassic-Rhaetic marls at the top of the southern face. The eastern face, seen here, reveals northward sloping Charnwood volcanics of Precambrian age. The quarry would have been built to excavate one of the many syenite intrusions in Charnwood Forest.

Mound by quarry The mound is either the remains of a hill or a large mound of quarry waste. A large quarry is just over the top.

The staff was fab and checking in was great. I have to speak highly of the staff as when I informed that I was cold, they promptly turned on the heating in my room and asked Housekeeping to bring me a plug in radiator. The room was lively. The only issue was that when we showered, the water ran all ...

Clean room, good size and value for money. Great location in the centre. The overall design of the room was modern with a lovely bathroom. We booked a windowless room as it was only for one night and wouldn’t be in the room for long, however there was a skylight in the sloping roof that let in natural ...

There was no hot water on the first night when we checked in at 9 p.m. The place warmed up quickly, but after a rainy day at CBeebies Land, we couldn’t take a shower. Thankfully, everything worked fine for the next two days.
