Cwm Nant y Meichiaid communication centre Other than shear rural loveliness, there is not much to see at Cwm Nant-y-Meichiaid.  I will shortly post photos from the hills round-abouts - and also the 180 degree view from this defunct phonebox.

Forest track in Big Wood, Cwm Nant-y-Meichiaid We thought this was the public right of way from the bend at Cwm Nant - it isn't - we took the wrong path - this one ended in the field which is the light at the end of the tunnel in this picture.

Looking down into Cwm Nant-y-Meichiaid A look back into this loveliest of quiet and hidden valleys deep in rural Montgomeryshire.  This is effectively nowhere, and that valley is the middle of it.  There are a few places like that around here.  The hilltops, undulate for miles and navigation, even for experienced map-readers can still be a little confusing.  And I live here.  The twin hills are unnamed as far as the map goes, but lie just south of Craignant Mawr.

Ash tree in bwlch between two minor tops Ash trees are magical.  Just go and touch this one to find out.  Hidden from the rest of humanity except those braving this rarely walked path below Moel Llaethbwlch.

Trackway to Craignant-mawr An extremely peaceful area - a lot of our walked covered the endless lanes and we only saw one car all day - the postman.  Moel Llaethbwlch behind the photographer.
