Quarried at Elton near Matlock in Derbyshire, this quarry yields some of the most consistently large blocks in the UK. Some blocks have been over 1800 tonnes in one piece.

 Wattscliffe gritstone is uniformly lilac / grey in colour with occasional buff / white intrusions.

This is a freestone and therefore equally durable in the most common masonry applications, which ever way its natural bed is laid.

The Wattscliffe stone is particularly suitable for Perthshire in Scotland and also for Southern Germany, although it would also grace many other areas.
