Information board at the limekiln This is one of several information boards around the limekiln, These boards have a chequered history. Originally they were made from metal but they were constantly being ripped off their mounts and stolen for scrap! After replacing some boards several times the park authority finally wised up and the latest versions are plastic with no scrap value. Sadly, they are still occasionally vandalised.
