BBC's Countryfile came to Lantoom Quarry Friday 19th June to film footage for an upcoming episode featuring Dean Quarry on The Lizard Peninsula.

 

The west Cornwall quarry controversially wants to extract several million tonnes of rock to build a tidal barrier at Swansea. The potential environmental impact of this proposal has caused concern from communities in the local area, while others are in favour of the employment opportunities that could arise.

 

Lantoom will feature as a backdrop to interview footage and will be used as an example of a working quarry.

 

The episode airs Sunday 5th July at 7pm on BBC One.
