Entrance to Rock Mill On the brown sign it states 'Melin Wlan', Rock Mill, Woollen Mill. Interesting because this is the last remaining, water-powered, commercial Woollen Mill still working in Wales. The Mill was built in the 1890s by the great grandfather of the present owner and operator, Mr Donald Morgan.

Old chapel at the crossroad near Rhydowen Yet another old chapel which despite appearances here has been placed in the ownership of the Welsh Religious Buildings Trust which has recently undertaken major repairs, grant-aided by the Heritage Lottery Fund, Cadw, Ceredigion County Council, Llandysul Community Council and local fund-raisers. It is now open to visitors and has a secure future.

Old roadside pub near Rhydowen Now apparently selling both antiques and cake, tea and coffee according to the signage. Sign says open but looked closed. Bit confusing. Lick of paint needed? I dunno, first impressions and all that.
