Overview
Restored mid 18th-century charcoal-fired blast furnace, originally used for smelting iron ore. The waterwheel would have powered the bellows, but was later used to power a sawmill when the building was repurposed in the early 19th century. Photo credit: © Crown copyright (2015) Cadw

About the area
The name ‘Ceredigion’ takes a bit of explanation. The town of Cardigan gives its name to the surrounding bay, but the county now uses the Welsh word for Cardiganshire – Ceredigion, pronounced with a ‘dig’.
