Black Mountain Quarries 2024

Starting from either of the car parks on the A4069, follow the marked trail and audio trail around the quarries. There are interpretation panels in the upper part of the quarries. The limekilns probably date from the early 19th century, the oldest being at the bottom of the site. They have mostly collapsed, but higher up the slope, in the later quarries, the early ones have been modernised and repaired. They are an unusual type, as each of them is separate. To support their large size they were cut into the hillside.
