Public footpath near Llangennech A small coal mine used to exist near to where this photograph was taken, but the only evidence of its existence today is the fact that the trees in the picture can be observed growing in what was once a slag heap and the occasional lump of coal.

Trig point above Pontarddulais It's not hard to understand why a triangulation point was placed here, with almost 360 degrees of view, overlooking Pontarddulais.  The white tower block in the distance to the right of the picture is the DVLA centre in Morriston.

Country lane This lane, with its high hedges, is typical of the area, though many have hedges twice as high. The estuary of the Afon Llwchwr, near Llanelli, is just visible in the distance.

Park Farm (derelict) Park farm has obviously seen better days, but the land around it is still managed well as cattle could be seen ambling into the field and also surrounding farm buildings looked well maintained.
