Wales Coast(less) Path, Cwm Einion

Because there's no bridging point of the Dyfi lower than Machynlleth, the coast path has to veer a long way inland. It's a glorious route, all the same, but don't bring a bucket and spade.

At the top of the Furnace waterfall, looking down it and the Afon Einion towards the A487 bridge. The furnace building itself is behind the rock top left. The old leat running to the waterwheel there can be seen, with a sluice gate in front of it.
