Easy Access 9: Llanymynech Heritage Area

This nationally important industrial heritage site is home to a restored Hoffman Kiln, one of only three left in the country. The site, which is close to the Montgomery Canal, has an excellent series of access paths and is littered with historic features of interest. It is also a great place to see wildlife.

Path Information

Access from the hard, level car park to the surfaced path network is excellent with few gradients. The car park includes a visitor information panel and orientation map. The paths allow almost complete access to the site although access for unassisted wheelchair users is challenging. Unsurfaced, but fairly level paths allow some visitors to explore further linking the site to the canal and to the Wildlife Reserve via the very steep incline plane.

Visitor Information

  • Open dawn to dusk
  • Parking for 8 vehicles on level, hard-packed surface
  • Suitable for assisted wheelchair users and mobility scooters
  • Nearest toilets – Heritage Centre Stable block (when open)
  • Excellent access from car park to path network
