Bonawe Iron Furnace
About
The industrial heritage of the area is brought to life through a series of fascinating displays.
An idyllic location close to the banks of Loch Etive. Founded in 1753 by a Lake District partnership, this is the most complete charcoal fuelled ironworks in Britain. Displays illustrate how iron was made here in a beautiful Lochside setting.
Large shingle and cobble stones make this sloping site difficult for visitors using wheelchairs or with limited mobility. Buildings are on two levels and the lower level of furnace, wheel pit, parts of the lade and some external display boards are accessible.
