@sheexplores_uk: 📍Harpur Hill Quarry 🇬🇧 As beautiful and as inviting it may look, it is purely just to be admired. High alkaline and very dangerous to swim in. #fyp #hiddengems #peakdistrict #PlacesToVisit #manchester #sheexplores #bluelagoon
A small part of the abandoned quarry has flooded to become a quarry lake. Its water has a very high pH, that is, it is very alkaline, owing to the presence of caustic chemicals that are leaching from the waste left from the lime burning. The lake water has a vivid blue colour due to the scattering of light by finely dispersed particles of calcium carbonate. Despite signs warning of the health risks the lake became a popular tourist destination and swimming spot. The local High Peak Borough Council dyed the water black in 2013, 2016 and 2020 in an attempt to deter swimmers.
