Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox SSSI Cook's Wood Quarry also known as Holcombe Quarry (Шаблон:Gbmapping) is a Шаблон:Convert geological Site of Special Scientific Interest near Stoke St Michael on the Mendip Hills in Somerset, notified in 1988.

This is a Geological Conservation Review Site. This site partially overlaps with St. Dunstan's Well Catchment SSSI.

The main exposures are cut in very steeply-dipping Carboniferous Limestone. This was the original locality for the type section of the proposed ‘Cookswoodian Stage’.

9 species of Bat, Dormice and four species of Newts including the rare Great Crested Newt reside in Cooks Wood Quarry.[1]

Planning permission for the disused quarry has been granted to turn it into a holiday retreat.[2][3]
