Longsplatt

Few places in England have a history as closely tied to Bath stone quarrying as Longsplatt. This small settlement lies near Box on the western edge of the Cotswolds, where the By Brook runs through limestone slopes and former quarry country. Stone from the Box area helped shape Bath’s Georgian streets and crescents, linking this rural corner of Wiltshire to one of Britain’s most recognisable architectural cities. The nearby Box Tunnel, opened in 1841 on Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s Great Western Railway, is another lasting mark of local geology and engineering.
