SN7918 : Limestone Quarry in upper Cwm Twrch

near to Bwlch y Ddeuwynt [hill or Mountain], Powys, Great Britain

Limestone Quarry in upper Cwm Twrch
Limestone Quarry in upper Cwm Twrch
This has to be one of the most remote quarries in the entire national park. The remains of a limekiln are in evidence below it (out of shot). It lies beside one of the long bridle routes which traverse the Black Mountain - in this case from Ystradgynlais to Llanddeusant so lime may have been removed on horseback from this spot.
