Across Wales there are many examples of limekilns to be found. Theses range from the large number of coastal kilns that served the farms in quite a local area, to the larger commercial kilns where limestone was worked extensively in parts of north and south Wales.

The Montgomery Canal and Brecknock and Abergavenny Canal both stimulated a significant lime trade and the remains of kilns along both are a good indicator of how important a business this once was.

If you have any comments please let me know.
