Opened in 1753, Bonawe Iron Furnace would once have produced up to 700 tons of iron from Cumbrian ore each year. The iron would have been used to create various things such as cannonballs during the Napoleonic War, as well as monuments.
The furnace is the most complete charcoal-fuelled ironworks remaining in Britain. You can visit from 9.30am - 5.30pm from 1st April to 30th September. More information: historicenvironment.scot/visit-a-place/places/bonawe-historic-iron-furnace
