The 'lime kiln' car park in Budleigh Salterton

As East Devon is predominately on Acid clay soil, Lime kilns were used especially near the sea or River

Limekilns are found near limestone quarries so an approach could be to use a geological map to narrow down an area then use OS maps to search that area for quarries. Limekilns should be nearby (unless, possibly, the limestone was for construction rather than agriculture).

Generally caves are only found in limestone and, in my younger and slimmer days, I used to go caving and have a book on Devon caves. IIRC many descriptions contained useful information such as "cave entrance 100 yards behind limekiln" so I'll see if I can locate it.

Cheers,
John

Will check these out many thanks for the grid ref makes it so easy, there is so much information out there but if they dont include grid ref then you find it hard to work out if it's a new one or one you already have, we have got to 150 now but understand there could be over 383 in Devon

russell11031967 · Devon's Best

Love 202-350 but dont remember a kiln need to ride slower

Tribey · Expert

What about the one in the central reservation on the A38 at Harcombe. Probably going too fast there too!

The grid reference given is incorrect

It appears the numbers have been transposed so it should read sx 8820 8180 rather than sx 8180 8820 which is given and is nearer Bridford than Chudleigh

I think it is at sx 8826 8194 and Google street view shows the stone wall of the kiln in amongst the trees

In the Bideford area (Little White Town) with all the lime washed buildings,There is Annery kiln near Weare Gifford google earth nice street view, north 50.59'04 west 4.11'30. and on the beach foreshore in the village where my Gran came from, Bucks Mills, google maps 50.59'184.20'47 W is a kiln
