During the 19th century this was a noisy, smoky place as lead was extracted and processed, before being transported to nearby Llanidloes and shipped down the River Severn.
Bryntail closed in 1884 as the local mining boom came to an end. The remains that still stand include crushing houses, ore bins, roasting ovens, smithy and the mine manager's office.VanLlanidloesPowysSY18 6NUUnited Kingdom52.468587768801-3.598942691313https://www.visitmidwales.co.uk/?dms=3&pid=
