Capel Horeb Chapel, Cwmdwr Adfeilion trist Capel Hermon, addoldy'r Bedyddwyr, Cwmdwr ger Llywel. Adeiladwyd y ty cwrdd cyntaf yn 1820 ac fe'i hailgodwyd bron yn gyfan gwbl yn 1905. Daeth yr achos i ben yn Horeb yng nghanol yr ugeinfed ganrif ac mae e wedi bod yn adfail ers degawdau. Er yn Eglwyswr brwd ymwelydd cyson â'r capel oedd Daniel Owen (Butus, 1795-1886), y dychanwr enwog o bentref Halfway gerllaw. Trist iawn yw meddwl nad oes neb yn dod bellach i ddodi blodau ar feddau anwyliaid. The sad remains of Horeb Baptist Chapel, Cwmdwr near Llywel. Built in 1820 it was practically rebuilt in 1905. Closed by the mid 20th century it has been in ruins for many decades. Despite being a staunch Anglican a frequent visitor to the chapel was David Owen (Brutus, 1795-1886), the well known satirist of nearby Halfway. It is sad to think that nobody comes any more to Horeb to put flowers on the graves of loved ones.

Gwersylloedd Rhufeinig Y Pigwn Roman Camps Cerddwyr yn sefyll ar glawdd gwersyll Rhufeinig dros dro ar Y Pigwn, Mynydd Bach Trecastell. Mewn gwirionedd mae dau wersyll wedi eu lleoli yma ac mae un yn llai na'r llall. Maent yn dyddio o'r ganrif gyntaf OC. Byddai byddin wedi aros yma dros nos neu am ychydig ddyddiau o bosib pan oedd hi ar gyrch yn yr ardal ac roedd gan bob milwr bâl er codi cloddiau a phabell i gysgu ynddi. Walkers standing on the rampart of a temporary Roman marching camp on Y Pigwn, Mynydd Bach Trecastell. In fact there are two camps located on the site and they both date from 1st Century AD. An army would have stayed here overnight or perhaps for a few days while on campaign in the area. Every Roman soldier would have had as part of his kit a spade to construct ramparts and a tent to sleep in.

A 40 at Halfway But from where to where? I have a very vague memory of discussing this nearly 60 years ago while heading west with my parents from Sennybridge to Pembrokeshire. This is the A40 heading up the valley of the Afon Gwydderig.
