The A458 Shrewsbury to Welshpool road in Cefn This scene shows the turning into Parc Caradog in Cefn and also shows Moel y Golfa behind, one of the Breidden Hills. It's almost at its best from this angle, but the telegraph wires, streetlamps and hedgerows somehow all conspire to pull down the view. I must head for higher ground.
