Snowy fields, Cnwch Coch

Heavy snow had been forecast for the night, but most of it ended up in southeast Wales. North Ceredigion got all the fun but little of the worry.

Disused Railway Bridge on the B4575 road.

This bridge once carried the Carmarthen to Aberystwyth railway line. The abutment on the left is intact but that on the right has been demolished to provide access to the new Ystwyth Trail (Tregaron to Aberystwyth) cycle route.
