View to Foel Offrwm from Dol-gûn-uchaf This is the view northwards from Dol-gûn-uchaf with the 405m (1329') eminence of Foel Offrwm in the background. I think that the house or farm in the mid-distance is most likely Ty-mawr. Foel Offrwm is home to a couple of ancient forts, the larger one being close to its summit, just to the west (left) of the wall seen rising up its flanks.

Hywel Sele Lodge, Llanfachreth Hywel Sele (Howel Sele) Lodge is en route to Llanfachreth and formed part of the Nannau Estate and is overlooking a Deer Park.  Probably built between 1794 and 1818 by Sir Robert Williams Vaughan.  It is a Tudor-Gothic folly lodge that has recently been restored as a get-away-from-it-all holiday let.
The Arch is Tudor in origin.
