The border between England and Wales passes through Llanymynech, and this is marked by a boundary stone which is listed. The area was once important for the manufacture of lime, and seven groups of lime kilns are listed, together with the much larger Hoffmann Kiln and its chimney. In Llanymynech is a listed pair of houses, a public house, and a church together with a pair of gate piers, and a memorial in the churchyard.
