Scarlett Point, Isle of Man

On the headland to the south of Castletown was the quarry where all the stone for the castle was recovered, it also had old lime kilns. We had seen them from the castle as well as from the walk around the spit earlier.
The quarry was flooded and out of use now, but provided the point where you could park and walk to the end of the point.
The lime kilns were visible from the track as it came around to the point. The limestone slabs on the shore were quite impressive
The track to the kilns was a little eroded, but the kilns were quite well preserved, apart from the fact they had not been emptied after the last firing.
The kilns are seen better from closer to the sea.
Wildlife at large
Limestone wash and pebble elevated beach .. all part of the Eco-structure here.
then back to the van and a continuation around the coast to the south.
