昨晚跟Huiyu聊:[說要趁目前還有車的時候,去一些需要開車才會到的景點走走],後來就找到了這個景點~The Blaenavon Ironworks. 
這個景點是早期的鐵礦廠,曾在2000年時,成為世界遺跡之一

查了一下,在Wales只有兩個景點是列入UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) World Heritage。
一個是The Blaenavon Ironworks,另一個則是Castles and Town Walls of King Edward in Gwynedd (added to the list in 1986)。
以下是查到的相關歷史:
The Blaenavon Ironworks started production in 1789 and was to become the first purpose built multi-furnace ironworks in Wales. At that time it was on the cutting edge of technology. The furnaces were coke fired and the blast provided by a steam engine. Blaenavon is now home to one of the best preserved 18 century ironworks in Europe. It is complete with furnaces, cast houses, a magnificent water balance tower, cupola furnace, calcining kilns and ironworkers cottages. In November 2000, Blaenavon Industrial Landscape was awarded World Heritage Status, at the heart of which is the Blaenavon Ironworks. 

以模型方式來展現當時的情景。

如今,只剩殘骸遺跡讓大家懷念~

基本上,我們對這個標示太有興趣了。所以試著用手來模仿。

今天我們都算幸運,今天天氣算不錯。只不過,原本是想在那town裡找個tea room吃東西的,結果找來找去就是找不到。只好去co-op買個簡單的東西,撐回Cardiff..因為大家都累了的關係,所以今天的晚餐就是~~~~~麥當勞啦.....
