Walkers not welcome At the edge of the open access land above Pen-fathor, a plethora of signs and a map warn walkers not to take the convenient private road back to Ystradfellte but to make a considerable detour to the bridleway on the other side of the valley. The only habitations on this track have public rights of way leading to them from the opposite directions, so it's hard to see the reason for putting up these notices other than pure spite.
