Wooden bridge across a stream valley The wooden bridge is narrow and the handrail is set high, so feels a little awkward to cross. It serves a vital purpose though, as in wet weather the valley is obviously a quagmire.

Castell Mawr motte and bailey at Llanboidy Little seems known about this site. It is not known or recorded as &#039;Llanboidy Castle&#039; and as it has never been excavated little is known about its date or founding, or founder, who could be either Norman English or Welsh. It is most likely a Norman motte and bailey 12th century foundation but fell out of use soon after and was never re-built in stone. It stands on private land.

The old Maesgwynne Arms in Llanboidy What a shame that a magnificent building like this is boarded up and non-operational. It looks like it has great potential as a hotel, gastro pub etc.

The old Maesgwynne Arms in Llanboidy This was the village&#039;s biggest public house, but seems to have lost its status altogether. I&#039;m no expert publican, property developer, hotelier or entrepreneur but I can see potential here for someone with the vision (and dosh) to transform this place into an historic destination dining hotel.
