Visited this over the Festive, it's a grand wee explore, plenty to see, stuff to climb and so on :)

There have been limeworkings in this spot for over a century, there is the mine across the road (didn't venture in this time, there's apparently some bad air, and it's a bit of a labyrinthe..) also the original limekilns nearby. The brickworks and limeworks closed in 2003/2004, and have been left to the ravages of time and more recently pikeys, as someone has been stripping some of the steelworks.

Looks a good 'un mate...wonder what the 'cumflow' was used for...surely they could have found a better name? :D

I've been wondering myself - too afraid to Google 'Cumflow' though :lol::p
