Furnace is a village named after the industrial plant that is there – disused now but restored. The iron furnace was built in the village on the banks of the river in about 1755 – and processed ore bought there from Cumbria by ship.

There weather forecast was poor so I followed a path out of the village along the river for a short walk and lunch.
I used the gas stove today as the wind was so strong that the alcohol stove could not deliver enough heat the boil water for Indian spiced Tea.
