Cwm Cywarch carpark area Carparking at the head of Cwm Cywarch has, for many years, been a bit of an informal affair, with most visitors and walkers leaving their transport on the rough and wet pasture in the valley east of the cottage of <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2919054">SH8518 : Gesail</a>. That situation has now been rectified, by the provision of this small carpark, for the use of which a small (voluntary) donation is requested in an 'honesty box' at the entrance. As that supports the local Air Ambulance, not leaving a donation would seem somewhat churlish.

Ruined buildings in Hengwm Not recorded, as far as I can tell, by any of the archeological investigations of the uplands over the years, so the most likely explanation is that they are former hafods of little interest or importance. There is a history of mining and quarrying in the Hengwm and Cwm Cywarch area, and possibly they may have been associated with that in some way, but that's pure speculation.

Looking down to Bryn Hafod Bryn Hafod is the club hut of the Stafford based Mountain Club. It was built on the site of a ruin by club members in the mid 1960s. It is very handy for the Craig Cywarch crags.
