Dist:0.5km<br/>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. See: http://www.welshmills.org.uk/rockcd.m0.html

Dist:0.6km<br/>A water mill – the wheel is on the left side of the building, the water being conveyed in a channel from a weir at the road bridge. The AA village sign has presumably wandered here from somewhere nearby, but I haven't been able to find the place (Cilrhiwiau) on a map, although 13 miles from New Quay is a good clue. Phil Champion has alerted me to: http://www.welshblankets.co.uk/catalog_view.php?id=1044 Which explains the sign as follows: "The original village sign can be seen on the wall of the mill. removed in the second world war to confuse possible invaders to this quiet Welsh village it was never put back up but remained for donkeys years on the wall of their other mill Broneinon. Although known locally as Capel Dewi by local people after the little church at the top of the slope, the village was actually called Cilrhiwiau which translates as narrow valley. It has been known as Capel Dewi ever since. Not a lot of people know that!!"
