I became interested in Lime Kilns a few years ago when I was asked to become a cultural resource monitor for the Sheffield Lime Kiln on the National Park lands protecting the Appalachian Trail. I am not going to talk about that kiln today, but rather one I visited in Wales.
Here are some shots of the Vennaway Kiln, also known as Kilvrough Kiln.
As you can see, it was a beautiful day with clear blue skies. Perfect for our tour of the Gower Peninsula in South Wales. For more information about kilns in the UK, see this great site.
