Lime Kiln Cottage * - a photo on Flickriver

            This thatched cottage alongside the Great Western Canal in Tiverton, Devon dates from around the 17th century. The house name Is a reference to the fact there were 14 lime kilns in the nearby canal basin which were used for the production of quicklime in the early 19th century. The raw materials arrived by canal and the finished product left the same way.

Today the house is a private residence but as the sign in the front garden indicates there is a tea room and garden alongside. The gardens were lovely and, as it was a warm sunny day and we were in Devon, we felt obligated to have a cream tea and coffee outside. The cream tea was gorgeous and my cappuccino was probably the best I have ever had – and I’ve had a lot over the years! 

Lime Kiln Cottage is a grade 2 listed building which gives it legal protection from demolition or major alteration without prior permission from the local authority.
