The old barn was converted to a museum some years ago, but at the time this picture was taken had been refurbished and was about to be formally reopened.

The "rock garden" in the right foreground contains examples of different kinds of rocks from local sites.
The William Pengelly Cave Studies Trust

In 1961 Higher Kiln Quarry was purchased to protect Joint Mitnor cave and the many features of scientific interest in this long abandoned limestone quarry. The following year it was decided to set the site up as a cave demonstration and research centre. The Association of the William Pengelly Cave Research Centre was set up and became the William Pengelly Cave Studies Trust in 1969.
