New houses at Hermon Hermon is a small village of about 100 households situated 10 miles or so  south of Cardigan. It grew from a cluster of houses around the chapel of that name and spread up the road in the direction of Crymych. This small estate is a continuation of that process. The land is boggy round about.

Boggy land at Hermon The straight road between Hermon and  Crymych, seen here at the right of the image, was built in the early 1800s across what was common land and in places was very boggy. The boggy land was put to good use with one smallholding making a type of grease from ingredients found in the bog while the water was pumped to the mines at Llanfyrnach. The rough tangled vegetation here suggests that the ground is still waterlogged.

Is this the old clapper bridge? One of the locals who pointed out the route of the little-used footpath through here told me there was an old clapper bridge over the stream.  This was the nearest thing I could find!
