Built around 1755, Dyfi Furnace is among the best-preserved charcoal-fired blast furnaces in Britain — a remarkable piece of early industrial history in an entirely rural setting. It stands beside a waterfall on the Afon Einion, whose water once powered the furnace bellows. The restored waterwheel dates from its later life as a sawmill. Looked after by Cadw, it's an easy stop on the A487 south of Machynlleth, right by RSPB Ynys-hir.
