These are 2 old clay pits that used to be some kind of filter or overpill spills for the quarry. One is mainly filled with a few feet of water, the other is full of thick creamy clay. The quarry videos of my youtube channel were taken here.

gorgeous white mud!

a great chalk pit which is still working but in the evening a great place for white creamy mud, goes great with black gear like pvc!

Stretham quarry

Perfect smooth mud and lots of fresh water to clean up in, deserted site and 200m walk from the road, surrounded by high banks so not a chance of being spied on - see my rubber videos taken at this site in the Summer :) http://mudboyuk.com/content/mud-and-rubber_3069

Always happy to show others round.

Leigh sand pit

This is a working sand pit producing the archetypal bright red Cheshire sand.

The easiest way to get into the site is on the south side, there is no fencing here, just a mound of earth from when the topsoil was cleared. I've not had a full session in there but have had a wander around, found a few areas of soft dark red mud of at least ankle depth (I didn't try going in any deeper) plus a large pond in one corner. The water in the pond is quite dirty so not that good for cleaning up, however there is a brook across the fields to the south of the site.

First of a batch of quarries dotted about Wareham, it's a shame I cant stick them all on the same map.

Back on trusty OS Outdoor Leisure 15

Take A351 into Wareham and turn off towards the station, at roundabout take the left after the station then the immediate left, go through the estate and fork to the right onto single lane road this is walking distance from Wareham station.

Arne Quarry

Isolated quarry near Arne, quick good thick mud, not much deeper than waist, thou was late summer, evidence that it was a lot wetter earlier in year. Few pits near center and some good pits on far west tip, worth a good look round!

Private property so usual yadda yadda own risk, cannot condone, etc etc applies.
