Llanwrtyd Wells - Cambrian Mill

Cambrian Mill

Built in 1852, the Cambrian Mill factory was the largest woollen mill in the Llanidloes area, employing over 250 workers at its peak. Reduced to an empty shell by a fire in November 1889, the rebuilt factory remains in continuous operation since it was rebuilt in 1902. It is one of very few woollen mills still operating in Wales. According to the mill's website, visitors can experience "700 years of weaving history."
