Pond by Eithar Bach brook This pond looks man-made and doesn't appear to be mapped. The forestry plantation on the right seems to be called Bron Fedw (which I thought had something to do with birch trees) and covers a steep escarpment. Celyn Farm, in the centre of the image, is in the next square. Taken from the road to Gelli Farm.
