Pantllyn Turlough, dried out

The prolonged hot spell has completely drained or evaporated the lake, allowing me to stand on the cracked lake bed and take this shot.

Sinkhole at the bottom of Pantllyn Turlough

A small depression in the middle of the dried out lake bed looks a likely candidate for the hole this turlough fills and drains through. Unfortunately it doesn't show very well in this photo. It's centre-shot with a log fallen in to it.

Old ancient monument road sign

This ancient monument road sign pointing to Carreg Cennen Castle is possibly more than 65 years old. It's located on the south wall of St Tybie's Church, Llandybie. A historical photo, held in the Francis Frith collection entitled "Llandybie, St Tybie's Church c.1955" appears to show it in its current position.
