Dist:0.6km<br/>This part of the reserve, enclosed by roads, has many old abandoned quarries. In fact a swathe of land running beyond to the east and west has been used for limestone quarrying at one time or other. Like many with any significant sized chamber intact, these kilns have been blocked off for safety.

Dist:0.6km<br/>The main transmitter mast near Carmel village has provided UHF television and FM radio services to South West Wales since the mid 1970s. More recent mobile and digital television services have been added to the mast as well as other communication equipment. The smaller 60m lattice mast seen in this picture was erected the weekend before this picture was taken and is apparently to aid digital switchover for the Llanelli area, which is puzzling as Carmel already provides a full Freeview service.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Most of this parcel of the nature reserve is a small or large quarry from the past that is slowly returning to the wild. This is part of the largest quarry. There are still some huge exposed slabs. This particular part seems to have been abandoned during being worked.
