Flint Quarries in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire
Here's a list, no idea about the quality of the flint, but if anyone does find a decent one, let us know.
Re: Flint Quarries in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire

I have phoned round a few of these and some say they can supply, but in tonne units !!!!
and to be honest i wouldnt know good quality from bad.

Quality tends to be black with as few things in it as possible. The greyer the harder to knap.

I'd ask the quarry about the quality of their flint before going. Most quarries will let you grab a few nodules for a tenner.
