The most complete charcoal-fuelled ironworks in Britain, Bonawe was founded in 1753.  Displays bring to life the industrial heritage of the area and illustrate how pig iron was made. Open summer only.  Large shingle and cobble stones make this sloping site difficult for visitors using wheelchairs or with limited mobility. By the village of Taynuilt off the A85.
