Water and other utility supplies for Caecenau houses There is a powerline on this side of the river so the black pipe might not carry an electrical cable.

Slate shed at Caecernau This farm building is made of a timber frame to which are nailed rectangular sheets of slate about 3/4" thick. The roof is made of "slates" of a similar thickness. The stone probably came from the nearby Aberllefenni quarries.

A wet byway in the Dyfi Forest Regular puddles about a foot deep, with the occasional one that looks bottomless when you approach on a mountain bike; having a new bike is a good excuse to mince round the side!

Site of Garneddwen station View NE up the Afon Dulas valley, towards Aberllefeni. Until closed from 21/8/48 (passengers from 1/1/31), the narrow-gauge Corris Railway on its way from Machynlleth to Aberllefeni ran parallel to the road and crossed it here, but it is uncertain whether Garneddwen station was on the left or right. (Update August 2020 - The 1901 OS 1:2,500 scale map shows that the station buildings, such as they were, were located on the left side of the railway and road here. The map also shows that the railway passed immediately to the right of the front garden walls, along what is now the road with the red car.)
