Furnace

In the 18th century, this quaint old village was home to an iron ore smelting foundry. Today, Dyfi Furnace is an important early industrial site that has one of the country’s best preserved charcoal burning blast furnaces. The bellows that pumped the air into the furnace were powered by a huge waterwheel driven by the River Einion. Visitors can see the wheel (now restored to working order) as well as tour this industrial heritage site and museum.

The road opposite Dyfi Furnace leads up the Cwm Einion – Artists’ Valley – so called because it was once a favourite haunt of 19th-century water-colourists. As well as seeing the remains of a silver and lead mine, walkers climbing up the valley will find pleasant woodland trails and picturesque picnic spots.
