These lime kilns on the side of the bridleway that runs south-east from Low Alwinton, were built about 1827 by the Selby family to supply lime to the Biddlestone estate but ceased working in 1866 because of high operating costs and competition from big commercial kilns. The kilns were restored by the Northumberland National Park Authority.
