Tips

September 16, 2024

Hiking

The lime kilns date to the late 19th century, when limestone and chalk were burnt to produce the cement needed for the expansion of London and the docks. There is evidence of various style kilns in the area, but the most obvious are the flare kiln towers. The towers are now all listed buildings and the area is a nature reserve.

Hiking

Nice old kiln. Good to visit during the hike. Also has a great view.

Hiking

Hiking along the North Downs Way there is an opening through the tree line where you can veer off the path slightly to get a good view of the tower and the surrounding countryside from a great vantage point!
