Maesllyn Mill is a working museum of the Welsh weaving industry. The large-scale integrated woollen mill was established in 1881, during the expansion of the woollen industry in the Teifi Valley, and it provided flannel until after the First World War. The mill was first powered by a turbine and later a water wheel from the Afon Cwerchyr. Maesllyn Mill was originally known as Gernos Mill and is not to be confused with Felin Gernos (NPRN 24734), a corn mill 800 metres to the south.

The renovated machinery, which includes a willeying machine, carding engines and a rotary loom, produces flannel and tweed. Next to the nineteenth century machines there are earlier hand-operated looms, and audiovisual displays explain the production process. The mill sells woollen clothes and rugs, and a nature trail winds its way through woods.
