Forestry Road Junction and Exit to Main Road To the right is a rare exit from the maze of forestry roads which snake around the slopes of the Wye valley. On foot (and if you are careful enough) it's quicker to take a diving short-cut through the thick conifer foliage instead of following all the switchbacks.

On the A44 road towards Sweet Lamb The Landrover ahead is sporting an 'EJ' plate, the traditional index for Cardiganshire (Ceredigion). 

On the left is the old Glansevern Hotel, which was previously a country house. The nine bedroom hotel was derelict when photographed by Jeremy Bolwell in 2012 <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2802454">SN8482 : The old Glansevern Arms Hotel on the A44 road</a>. In the caption to his photograph Jeremy asked 'What will its future be?' The answer is - none! It had been offered for sale in 2008 with planning consent for conversion to three dwellings. It was subsequently purchased by the County Council but was demolished and the frontage incorporated into a road-widening scheme. The land behind the property is now used as a small council depot. The Inn is listed on the RCAHMW (Coflein) recorded names site but is otherwise lacking in information. The earliest found OS map showing the building as an Inn is 1886/87, but it may well pre-date that.
