The Old Mill at Bodnant was served by a mill race of Tudor origin and was used two centuries ago to carry water to provide power for blowing a blast-furnace on the banks of the River Conwy. The blast furnace has long ago disappeared; the power was subsequently used to turn the wheels of the corn mill and later to work the estate sawmills. The mill is Grade II Listed.
