Langcliffe Quarry – A History of the Limeworks Industry is an existing initiative to develop a nationally significant site into a unique destination and improve accessibility.
Langcliffe Quarry, located 1.5miles north of Settle, is rich in heritage and ecology. The site features the remains of historic lime production and limestone quarrying, including a Triple Draw kiln, Spencer kiln, and a rare Hoffmann kiln, one of the largest and best-preserved examples in the UK.
North Yorkshire Council, with funding from the Skipton and Ripon Area Committee and UK Shared Prosperity Fund, has been creating a comprehensive interpretative trail, allowing visitors to explore and learn about the area’s industrial past, and designing plans to improve accessibility
To celebrate the project, North Yorkshire Council is hosting a series of events, including guided walks, art exhibitions, and family-friendly educational activities. These activities are all free, with events suitable for all ages.
