Hillside north of Llangynllo Some sunshine plays over distant slopes but the cloud base skims the hills and the sheep seem to be supporting each other in the adverse conditions.

Ferley A small farm on the south side of Beacon Hill. It appears that one of the old grown out hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) hedges has been grubbed up, as there is a pile of thorn wood in the field. Any logs would be worth salvaging, as hawthorn is a fine firewood, but there is a fear of the plant in this area, especially the flowers which should never ever be brought into the house.

Grown out hedge, Bailey Hill A very common Radnorshire scene, a line of hawthorns where there was once a hedge. Hedges need a lot of maintenance , otherwise the bottom grows out and they are no longer stock proof, becoming a line of trees.

Hill road near Malygoed. Not so long ago, there would have been a grass strip down the middle of this lane over the hills above the Teme Valley. Still a quiet track serving a few farms.

While Beeching looked the other way The Central Wales Railway, from Craven Arms to Llanelli is a survivor. One of the few remaining rural railways, linking small towns and villages between Swansea and Shrewsbury. Here it is climbing up Cwm Heyhope (a typical Teme Valley mixed language tautology) to the summit at Llangunllo Tunnel.
