The Heritage Area is a fascinating location offering exciting opportunities for pupils to study the working lives of quarrymen and lime burners at the end of the Victorian era. Visitors of all ages can explore the remains of the limestone quarries that dominated life in the village, work out how the limestone was transported and burnt to produce lime, and examine the visible remains of quarries, kilns, canals, tramways and railways. They can discover the dangers and hardships of this little known aspect of local history. The highlight of their day will be to explore the Hoffman Kiln, a fascinating and unique example of industrial archaeology, recently restored using money from the Heritage Lottery Fund.\r[Source: www.llanymynech.org.uk]
