The A470 heading 'north'
The Vulcan Arms pub and restaurant (now The Halt?) is just a short distance on the left.
A470 South of Llanwrthwl
The A470, also known as the Cardiff to Glan Conwy Trunk Road, is the major long-distance road in Wales, from Cardiff on the south coast to Llandudno on the north coast. It is 185 miles long, and has undergone considerable road improvement in the last two decades. While previously one had to navigate the narrow roads of Llanidloes and Dolgellau, both these market towns are now bypassed due to extensive road modernisation.
The road travels through two of Wales's national parks, the Brecon Beacons in the South and Snowdonia National Park, starting just south of Dinas Mawddwy in the North. It is a primary trunk route throughout its length, and the southernmost 26 miles, from Cardiff Bay to Merthyr Tydfil, is mainly direct and good quality dual carriageway, but most of the route from north of Merthyr to Llandudno is single carriageway.

Doldowlod: the post office and postbox № LD1 163
A post office opened here, within the service station on the A470, on 2 April 1998, replacing an office which closed in Llanwrthwl, the village a short distance north of here. The postbox must have been installed in recent times too, as it escapes inclusion on some of the Royal Mail's lists.
