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.

Moel Llaethbwlch

When I first glanced at the map, without my reading glasses, I read it as Moel Llaethbuwch. This as a name far more prosaic in that it would have meant Milky Cow Hill. Milk Pass Hill a good second place. This hill at 1,190ft stands proud of the many local bumps. Strangely, there is a spot height of 348 metres slightly northwest and below the summit.

Start of bridleway across ridge behind Moel Llaethbwlch

The one and only footpath sign and stile we found on our entire walk. And this gate when we tried to open it collapsed - the post had rotted through at the base. This even though the whole gate and stile seemed fairly new.

Transmitter station at Moel y Fronllwyd

Couldn't gain much intelligence as to what this place was about from the signs thereon. But it did make a great picnic stop.

Curious cattle on the bridleway by Moel Llaethbwlch

If anyone's walked this path this year I'd be surprised. These youngsters were certainly interested in the first passers-by in a while.

Methodist chapel and manse at Tycrwyn near Llanfyllin

The redbrick Methodist chapel is dated 1891 and may well be a rebuild of an older one that was contemporaneous with the obviously older cottage manse, where I presume the minister lived. Lovely spot. How rural Wales, like everywhere else, has changed since 1891. Even 1991.

Old cottage to the rear of Tycrwyn Methodist chapel

Once maybe the manse. Looking a bit neglected. Not yet a conversion or 'renno' thankfully.

Tycrwyn Methodist chapel

The plaque reads 1891. As rural chapel-going populations age and pass on to glory, countless chapels like this one will fall out of use and face the likelihood of becoming converted into a home or business premises or slipping into disrepair, neglect and dilapidation.
