Tarmac is part of CRH, a global leader in building materials operating across 28 countries and a leading producer of aggregates, asphalt, cement and concrete blocks in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>The quarry is bordered by the villages of Whisby and Eagle, with Whisby Nature Park just to the east \u2013 a thriving conservation area and community asset created from a former section of the quarry. Bird life is a major feature of Whisby Quarry throughout the year with over 60 bird species breeding on-site and 40 more species visiting seasonally. Sightings of kingfishers, sand martins, and nightingales are common.<\/p>\n<p>We continue to operate and restore the quarry in phases.
