Nant-y-Madwen See <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1659332">SJ1245 : Farmhouse at Nant-y-madwen</a> taken 12 years ago when the farmhouse was already empty. Sadly, now it is still empty but no longer &quot;well-maintained&quot;. Ironically the name probably means (farm by) the blessed or fortunate stream.
