Built in 1899, Llanymynech Heritage Area boasts one of the three remaining Hoffman Kilns in the country. The Hoffman Kiln was used to burn and produce quicklime which, in turn, was used as fertiliser and for other products, such as lime mortar. The site contains a host of industrial relics which, together with thoughtfully laid-out interpretation, bring an otherwise long-forgotten past alive. The site itself is set amongst beautiful woodland, and the skyline dominated by the towering limestone cliffs of the quarry. In its day this was one busy place!
