Britain's What's On Event Guide
Llanymynech Limeworks Heritage Area
Heritage Open Day: The Llanymynech Limeworks is a unique heritage area which ceased working in 1914 due to economics and WWI. The area is a Scheduled Monument, with Grade II listed kilns and chimney and was also declared a Local Nature Reserve in September 2020. The Llanymynech Limeworks and surrounding area is steeped in history and lies across the English and Welsh borders, with minerals being mined in the area back to the Iron Age and Romano Britain. You will find the old stables block, now converted to an education area, two draw kilns, the Hoffmann kiln and 42m high chimney and a partially restored Tally House. The Hoffmann chimney is unique as it is the only one of its type still standing in the country.
