Bryn y Gadair

This bridleway leads across wild moorland. Sheep and forest.

At 400m above sea level, you can keep sheep, or grow trees. The choice is yours!

400m above sea level, but a home for sheep for a LONG time.

Looking across the Waen to Carno Wind Farm SN9294 and beyond. Carno Wind Farm, opened 1996, was at the time of its completion the largest wind farm in Europe with 56 turbines installed with a total capacity of over 33 Megawatts. The towers, each over 30 metres high dominate the landscape for miles around. Opinions about wind farms are varied, with strongly opposed views about their value and desirability. On this occasion, not one of the 56 turbines was turning, despite a moderate breeze. There may have been good technical reasons for this, but it does not make for good publicity for wind power.

House in a commanding position at an altitude of nearly 400 metres near the summit of Esgair y Groes.

House on the top road above Trefeglwys.

On a plateau, high above Trefeglwys. The name "Hafod" means "Summer Pasture".

Grazing sheep in the Afon Cerniog valley. Looking towards mixed woodland of Coed y Pentre.

View towards Coed y Pentre (woods) in the Afon Cerniog valley. This is the top of the field seen in SN9595 : Green green grass .

The road to Gorfanc bends left, with a track to Castell on the right. It was a pleasure to see primroses (left) so abundant in the banks of this quiet country road.

Lots of these chaps in fields around Castell.

A small stream which flows into the Afon Cerniog.

Between Gorfanc and Hendre Cerniog.

The park is shielded from the road by smartly trimmed hedges.

Going from Hendre Cerniog towards Carno, Penddol Holiday Park is behind the hedge on the left. Allt Fawr (big hill) is in the distance.
