Description
The size of the Greensplat China Clay Pit can be seen when you realise the small orange things at the bottom of the pit are huge machines digging out the clay.
China Clay, known as kaolin, is decomposed granite, which is found in very few places around the world. The deposits in Cornwall and Devon are the largest. The clay is used in papermaking, paints, porcelains, dyes and cosmetics.
