Bridleway crossing the A483 The track on the right comes down from Black Gate on the moor east of here, whilst the fingerpost on the left marks the line of the same bridleway which then ceases to exist at the old road which has now been re-aligned. To be fair, the bridleway probably once continued up onto the hills to the west as a cart track to Seven Wells and beyond, but has long been metalled.

Approaching the bend at Seven Wells A bit of downhill, before the next rather stiff climb up towards the Penrhyddlan and Llidiarytwaun Wind Farm on the moor to the west of here.

Road junction at Seven Wells A parting of the ways here - the lane we're on rather peters out behind us up in the hills near the windfarm, whilst the one running right to left at the T-junction finds its way back into Newtown through the valleys and fields around Mochdre.

Part of the A483 (T) above Cwmyrhiwdre near Newtown, Powys A well known section of this great trunk road, just south of the re-entrant switchback, with great views down the Cwm-y-rhiw-dre Brook valley towards the valley of the River Severn, where a temperature inversion fills the valley with 'low cloud'.

The valley of the Cwm-y-rhiwdre Brook valley in winter Cold air has sunk into the valley of the River Severn leaving the tributary brook valleys clear of fog, if not of frost. The A483 trunk road runs along the bracken line. A famous viewpoint in conditions like these.
