Caernant

Caernant
The Caernant granite quarry had very poor road access and shipped all its product out by sea from a pier at the bottom of a long incline. It was developed from 1875 and the processing plant (seen here) was fed using a series of narrow gauge railways and inclines The main incline was abandoned in 1963 and for a while afterwards an aerial ropeway was used to carry stone to the pier.
