Pig sty, Pen-y-wennol

The pig sty at the site of the now-ruined farm of Pen-y-wennol was restored to immaculate condition in 2011, when this photo was taken. It has since become very overgrown. It can be viewed from a footpath running along the hillside. Pen-y-wennol: top of the shuttle, probably a reference to the steep winding road from the village to access the place - although 'gwennol' is also the word for swallow (the bird).
