Pen y LÃ´n

Enw addas iawn! Ffordd hir, gul a serth i'w gyrraedd. Translated means 'End of the road'. A very appropriate name as it is at the end of a long narrow steep road.

Felin Hen

The brook which runs down from above Maes Cadarn and Plas Nantglyn passes under the road in a culvert beneath my feet, thence to the left and across the field behind the trees, eventually running past the farmhouse at Felin Hen which you see in centre shot.

Disused Chapel at Soar

This picturesque little chapel at Soar stands by the brook which winds through the hamlet, and is deserving of more care and attention than its small community can afford. The chapel at Saron, a mile or so up the road, is used by several local communities, including Soar.
