Access land above Blaenmilo-uchaf A tongue of access land south-east of Aberedw Hill covers the western half of this square. This is moorland sheep grazing land with easy walking but very strong westerly winds.

Path towards Aberedw Hill The open moorland in the next square can be seen on the horizon. In this square, a footpath comes in from the left behind the retaining wall of an old drovers road, and continues to the left of the trees in the middle distance. The drovers road is shown on the 1:25K maps but is not a public right of way.

Millennium stone The stone has probably been on this site for much longer but the plaque was attached for the Millennium.
