Wenvoe Quarry

Wenvoe Quarry is an operational quarry located on the eastern edge of the Vale of Glamorgan, south Wales, approximately 5 km (3 miles) southwest of Cardiff city centre. It is situated on Alps Quarry Road, in an area known as "The Alps", between Wenvoe, Culverhouse Cross and Caerau. The quarry is accessed from the A4050 road.

The quarry extracts limestone rock, from which a variety of construction aggregates are produced.

Wenvoe Quarry was developed from the Alps Quarry. The now-closed Whitehall Quarry, located 1 km (0.6 miles) to the west, was also known as Wenvoe Quarry.
