Ilston's Abandoned Limestone Quarry.

The second part to walk took me to Ilston's abandoned limestone quarry, I hadn't even noticed it before my cousin pointed it out, an interesting place with very little written history. I believe that the limestone quarried here would have transported to Devon where it would have been boiled so that the lime could be used for farming.
