Lôn olaf yng Ngheredigion, Glaspwll The Afon Llyfnant is the northernmost border of Ceredigion, so this lane is the last in the county. It was closed to through traffic a decade ago, as it is extremely narrow and the rock face to the right - dripping with ferns and mosses - was considered too risky.

Old milestone by Hen Gapel, Derwenlas This classic old Welsh slate milestone stands in front of Hen Gapel, Derwenlas alongside the A487. The top is damaged and it appears to have two lots of inscriptions both apparently indicating 2 miles to Machynlleth. The milestone isn't marked on any maps I've seen, but does appear to be equidistant between milestones 'Mach 1', which is now in a cut off section of the A487 (if the MS exists), and 'Mach 3' further west, which may have been lost to an RTC, where there is a hole in the hedge. For a wider view of this milestone see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7519195">SN7299 : Derwenlas by the A487, and a milestone</a> Inscription reads:- 2 M MA(CH) 2 M.
