Description
The lime kilns located to the east of Beadnell Harbour were built in 1798 and were slightly extended later by Richard Pringle for John Wood of Beadnell Hall. They are constructed from random rubble with pink sandstone dressings. The structure features three large circular kilns, each approximately 30 feet high, which interlock but are divided at ground level by tunnel-vaulted cross passages. Each kiln has three large segmental drawing arches that decrease in size towards the inside. The most southerly kiln has partially collapsed on the seaward side. The site has considerable landscape value and is a National Trust property.
