Start of bridleway into the mist

This bridleway leads across pasture and down the slope to Pant yr Holiad. Another view in the next square was taken in very different weather SN3350 : What a difference a day makes!.

What a difference a day makes!

Looking down towards Pant yr Holiad in very different weather from SN3250 : Start of bridleway into the mist. In early October 2007, the weather here alternated between glorious bright sunny days and miserable damp drizzly ones - perhaps typical of the area?

Lunch-time lay-by on the coast road

This is the road that follows the coast a few miles inland and forms an important artery roughly north-south through west Wales. It also passes through a considerable number of villages on the way, for example Brynhoffnant in SN3351.

Beech avenue to Bryn-Bedw

Several farms in the area - see SN3551 - boasted impressive beech avenue drives. Judging from the map, the farm Bryn-Bedw enjoys commanding views over a steep slope to the valley of the Afon Bedw below.
