Everyone is welcome to come along and assist, please join us and help to look after this unique legacy. The LLIMEYS meet to discuss heritage area business every 3 months. Meetings are published in our Events Calendar, so make sure to regularly check for updates. The meetings are held in the Stables Education Block and all are welcome.
Great trip here to discover the Limestone quarrying history of the area. Free parking available and was also great for walking the dog with bits of history scattered around the reserve. We spent around 2-3 hours here exploring and walking up the the cliffs and quarry site which is well worth the walk up the incline.
This is truly a hidden gem. There is only limited parking, but this is free. Once out of the car park, the trails and paths are well maintained and signposted with plenty of information boards around the area. The old buildings and limeworks are very well preserved. Zone 1 of the heritage area offers shorter, accessible walks. Whilst zones 2 and 3 offer more strenuous and longer walks which then link up with other walking trails too. Follow the footpaths up the hill to find a stunning viewpoint and explore the old quarry at the top of the hill.
What an amazing place + was lucky enough to speak to 1 of the volunteers, who took the time to explain how the kiln worked. Lovely, but steep walk up to where the rock was taken from. Walked along + up to the viewpoint. Well worth a visit.
Wonderful place. Worth noting the visitor building and snack stand is to the right of the car park, we missed it when we arrived with the cars parked there. Lovely little and informative ride along the stretch of canal for PS5 (Sundays and bank holidays). The kilns themselves are freely open with information boards with ramp access to everything we saw. Walking inside is rather impressive. Didn't manage to go to the top given I've got a fractured knee, but happily enjoyed a few hours there. Some very nice painted canal items in the shop.
A very educational trip into the production of lime from limestone in 1899. The path up the hill is steep but the views from the edge of the limestone cliffs are well worth the effort. I would highly recommend this tour and the dogs loved it.
Great heritage area to visit, and very educational for all the family. The walk around the heritage centre is very interactive, with lots of information points and things to see. There is access into the kiln itself, which is dark but really interesting to see! Dog friendly, with plenty of parking available. Shops and pubs nearby if you want to make a day of it. The walks are pretty easy going, and can be as long or short as you want them to be, depending on the route you take. Highly recommended if your passing through the border village of llanymynech.
