Hen gapel, Cwm Ratgoed The old Ratgoed Methodist chapel, long roofless, but a little tidied up (as is the whole valley) of late. An artist added stained glass to the small windows above the door and on the day of my visit, Christmas Eve, a couple were decking it out for a community get-together that evening, with carols and festive food and drink.
