Porth Wen Brickworks, Victorian industrial site on northern coast of Anglesey, United Kingdom.
The industrial complex includes multiple buildings, circular kilns, crushing facilities, and a harbor for maritime transportation of bricks.
The brickworks operated from 1850 to 1914, manufacturing fire bricks from local quartzite for use in steel industry furnaces.
The site represents the industrial heritage of Wales, demonstrating the Victorian era manufacturing processes and maritime trade connections.
Access requires a 45-minute walk along the Anglesey Coastal Path from Cemaes Bay, with appropriate footwear necessary for steep terrain.
The circular beehive kilns remain standing as examples of specialized industrial architecture used in the brick production process.
