Glandford (Hurdle Lane) is a 9.4-hectare (23-acre) geological Site of Special Scientific Interest west of Sheringham in Norfolk, England.[1][2] It is a Geological Conservation Review site[3] and it is in the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.[4]
This is a working quarry in the valley of the River Glaven. It has a complex sequence of deposits formed by Pleistocene glaciers, with till, lacustrine calcareous silts, sands and coarse gravels, which throw light on the glacial history of the area.[5]
The site is private land with no public access.
