Field with ewes and lambs Warm Spring sunshine has started the grass growing and is getting the new lambs off to a good start. This view is to the East taking in the B4415 as it drops towards Rhyd-y-clafdy.

Disused quarry A small, disused quarry at the roadside is developed in a localised outcrop of a rhyolitic tuff called the Bodgadle Member, of Ordovician, Caradoc age and associated with volcanic activity in the Pwllheli and Llanbedrog area. This rock has a very pale colour when weathered and can be seen as distinctive outcrops on the edge of the hill (e.g. <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1989291">SH3135 : View across pastureland towards Bodgadle Farm</a>).

Llanfihangel Bachellaeth church The church appears to be disused - certainly as a place of worship and possibly as an artists studio which others have reported it having been. The graveyard is badly overgrown. Hills of the northern Lleyn Peninsula are seen in the distance to the left of the building.
