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.

Ystrad Einion mine Ystrad Einion mine was worked mainly in the 1890s for copper, lead and zinc. The photo shows the crusher house, where rock and veinstuff extracted from the mine were broken down by waterwheel-powered crushing rollers at the start of the separation process.  The mine site has been preserved (not always sympathetically) for visitors and is surrounded by dense conifer forest.
