Bonawe Historic Iron Furnace

Imagine the heat and noise of Bonawe, the most complete charcoal-fuelled ironworks in Britain. Founded in 1753, it ceased firing only in the 1870s. Today, displays show every stage of how pig iron was made – as well as cannonballs for use in the Napoleonic Wars. Visitors' dogs are allowed at Bonawe Iron Furnace, but are not permitted in roofed areas, so take turns enjoying the nearby Glen Nant National Nature Reserve. Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times and not left unattended at any time.
