Fingerpost on Yr Eifl

Always useful in poor weather, even when backed up with good map reading and navigational skills.

View of B4417 towards Gyrn Ddu

View from the lay-by on B4417, looking north-east. The field visible to the right of the road is upland grazing for sheep, continuing to the summit of Mynydd Carnguwch. The photo looks down on an expanse of lowland pasture, used for sheep, cattle and horses. The village of Llanaelhaearn is hidden by the terrain, although some indications of habitation are visible.

Llithfaen chapel

Up for sale as so many old chapels are these days. What a large, imposing and impressive building. Dated 1905 - I wonder what the deacons of that day would say and do if they could see it today?
