Cas-funch

Footpath southeast of Puncheston/Casmael A straight, slightly raised PROW, with a hard surface beneath the grass, between overgrown hedges leads downhill towards a ford and bridge across the Afon Anghof on the edge of the village. The stone set on the edge of the lane&#039;s end (left of the dog) appears to be some sort of marker, possibly connected with the long-dismantled railway line that ran NE-SW close to this point.

Fox-and-cubs in Casmael churchyard

Pilosella aurantiaca, very often to be found growing in churchyards, cemeteries and other rough stony places with good drainage. The name Fox-and-cubs refers to the way the open flowers and the buds are clustered together on the same stalk but it has a variety of other common names too.
