Lime Kilns, Millers Dale, Derbys, April 2016

[HughieD]

Done a couple of posts on the Lime Kilns in this area before. Partially covered this place almost a year ago to the date. On closer examination there were a number of other structures to the left I previously didn't explore last time so had a scramble up there and got enough decent pictures to merit another report. The thing I love about this place is how nature has taken back what man once made. The structures have tumbled down and are now covered in thick green moss. Anyhow here are the pix on a lovely Spring day is God's County...

Came across this structure on the way out...

These are the tumbled-down buildings to the left of the main site:

Which nature is slowly taking back:

To the point where some are hard to make out as buildings:

This is the largest of the structures:

I like this lots.It's a good job you went when you did,once the leaves are on the trees you would hardly see a thing

I have fond memories of here. An enjoyable weekend spent in and around Buxton 15 years ago. At that time, like yourself, I was in S Yorks. Thanks for posting.

Exactly! Think that's why I missed these buildings first time round as the trees were in leaf.
