Here's a list, no idea about the quality of the flint, but if anyone does find a decent one, let us know.

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.
