Plump Hill Dolomite Quarry (grid reference SO661171) is a 4.5-hectare (11-acre) nature reserve in Gloucestershire in the Forest of Dean.[1]
The site is managed by the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust and held under agreement with the Forestry Commission since 1982. In 1987 a rough area to the north of the Quarry, together with a narrow strip on the western edge were incorporated into the reserve.[1] The site is listed in the 'Forest of Dean Local Plan Review' as a Key Wildlife Site (KWS).[2]
