Footpath southeast of Puncheston/Casmael A straight, slightly raised PROW, with a hard surface beneath the grass, between overgrown hedges leads downhill towards a ford and bridge across the Afon Anghof on the edge of the village. The stone set on the edge of the lane's end (left of the dog) appears to be some sort of marker, possibly connected with the long-dismantled railway line that ran NE-SW close to this point.
