Presthope Car Park, TF13 6DQ
Step 1
Follow the orange waymarkers along the Lime kiln walk. Starting at the rear right-hand corner of the car park, take the surfaced path past the viewpoint overlooking Ape Dale. Continue straight on through the woods, along the crest up and down a short flight of steps. Keep following the path through the woods.
Step 2
When you come to a junction turn right and follow the path as it winds through the woods.
Step 3
Within 100m you come to another junction where the path to the left leads to a bank of four restored limekilns, evidence of Wenlock Edge’s industrial past.
Step 4
Retrace your steps back to the main path and take the left path, passing the bird hide and into Knowle Quarry: the exposed limestone rock face is composed of 425-million-year-old fossilised sea creatures. Climb the steps out of the quarry and follow the woodland path back to the car park.
