Pontdroed Felin Newydd / Felin Newydd footbridge Pontdroed yn rhychwantu nant ddi-enw gerllaw&#039;r Felin Newydd (jyst mewn golwg yn y pellter). Mae&#039;r nant hefyd yn ffinio dau blwyf, sef Abernant a Llannewydd. Noder y rhyd. Mae&#039;r hen heol yn dringo&#039;r bryn i gyfeiriad Ffarm Shidenyn a phan roedd y felin yn ei hanterth gwelid, yn sicr, lawer o fynd a dod arni. Heddiw, ambell gerddwr sydd yn ei defnyddio.

A footbridge spanning an unnamed stream near Felin Newydd (trans. New Mill), just visible in the distance. The stream also acts an administrative boundary for two parishes, Abernant and Newchurch. Note the ford. The road leads up the hill in the direction of Shidenyn Farm. Without doubt, when the mill was working the old road would have seen much coming and going. Today, only the occasional walker uses it. — Pontdroed Felin Newydd / Felin Newydd footbridge Credit: Alan Richards

Llwybr Posty Uchaf / Posty Uchaf Path

Hen gât fochyn ar lwybr cyhoeddus ger Ffarm Posty Uchaf sy wedi'i hen esgeuluso'n gan y cyngor cymunedol lleol a'r cyngor sir sy'n gyndyn iawn i'w ailagor. Old kissing gate on a long neglected path leading to Posty Uchaf Farm. Despite complaining to the local community council and county council nothing seems to get done!

Ford below Penygaer Farm

This ford is found at Felin Newydd at the start of the now blocked byway leading up to Shidenyn Farm. The next farm upstream is Pen Y Gaer Farm which featured in the BBC film Borrowed Pasture which featured two Polish soldiers trying to make a living on the farm and was narrated by Richard Burton.

Church of St Lucia, Abernant

Mainly a medieval church, restored in 1899 when the porch was added and the double bellcote rebuilt. The church is in a huge churchyard, which also serves several surrounding parishes. There is plenty of space left. (Information from 'The Buildings of Wales')
