Nant-y-Gwenill

Winter morning sunlight catches the tiny stream of Nant-y-Gwenill. The map shows a footpath running along its bank through the wood, though there is no evidence of that on the ground.

The bracken is starting to sprout on Melinbyrhedyn common (appropriately enough; the village name means 'mill in the bracken'). The sharp track up to Penrallt on the other side of the valley is prominent.
