Ynyscedwyn iron works
With the many coal mines in the surrounding area, it was only natural for the heavy industry of metal working to go hand in hand. Here we see the remains of the victorian Ynyscedwyn iron works, which made use of the revolutionary hot blast process.
The arches and chimney stack are all that remain today of a large factory that sprawled across this area.

Ynyscedwyn Ironworks
Ynyscedwyn Ironworks Park was created on the site of the ironworks which made the south Wales village of Ystradgynlais famous. According to evidence found at this site, iron was being smelted here from as early as 1612. The most important period for these works was during the early nineteenth century where the hot blast method was invented here. Iron making ceased in 1941, and these soaring arches and preserved machinery are all that now remain. The pastoral landscape, overlooked by craggy hills, offers visitors peaceful respite and the opportunity to witness a rich and unique heritage hundreds of years in the making.
