Flood Plain of Afon Ystwyth

From the south-west slope of Pen Dinas there is a fine view across the flat floodplain of the Afon Ystwyth. The straight line of trees in the centre is the former railway line, now a long distance path and cycle route.

A Curious Little Building

I can't make up my mind what I think this is. A disused pheasant pen? Or a picnic hut?

Plas Tanybwlch

A large mansion which must have a fine view along the beach. Built by a veteran of the Napoleonic Wars, Major General Lewis Davies, who served with Wellington, it remained in his family until 1935. After that it served as a hospital, then student residence, then had a rather chequered history as the home of a rock star. It is now, or will shortly be, converted into apartments.
