Froghall Wharf Lime Kilns

Highlight • Historical Site

Limestone was brought to the wharf by tramway from the quarries at Caldon Low. Here it was burnt in these kilns to produce quicklime, or put directly onto canal barges for shipment to the potteries at Etruria.

Willow Wood Workshop

Highlight • Structure

This is certainly worth a highlight. They run classes as well as repairing existing items.

We took the kids to a willow weaving class held at Ford Green Hall when they were little. Very therapeutic!

Helly's Tea Room

Highlight • Rest Area

A popular tea room with an extremely good reputation in a very picturesque spot.

Sadly it was closed because of Covid but I look forward to using these pleasant facilities soon.

Beware that the official Foxt segment starts before this place. Therefore if you decide to take a rest here, pedal back a couple of meters before starting the Foxt climb.
