The A40 south of Wolf's Castle, with Poll Carn and Maiden Castle on the skyline A winding and undulating stretch of the main road, just before it drops down into Treffgarne Gorge.  

The right-most of the tors on the horizon is Poll Carn.  To its left, Maiden Castle - looking much like a ruined castle from this sort of distance, though like Poll Carn it represents the remains of a volcano of the Precambrian era (about as far back as you can go, geologically).  See Sid Howells' contribution <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1583324">SM9524 : Maiden's Castle and Poll Carn</a> for more geological detail.
