Geology of County Durham
Local nature reserves
### Local nature reserves

LNRs may be designated for their biological or geological interest. In any case, more often than not, the biological interest is dependent upon the geological interest as at Wingate Quarry LNR north of [Trimdon Grange](/wiki/Trimdon_Grange "Trimdon Grange") village where 'Magnesian Limestone grassland' may be found


Can humans benefit from visiting or interacting with LNRs?
