Ceiswyn

Hen gapel, Cwm Ratgoed The old Ratgoed Methodist chapel, long roofless, but a little tidied up (as is the whole valley) of late. An artist added stained glass to the small windows above the door and on the day of my visit, Christmas Eve, a couple were decking it out for a community get-together that evening, with carols and festive food and drink.

Turning point on the road For those who don't wish to travel further. Marked as a track on the OS maps, it is a decent surfaced road that continues on the right, although with very few passing places, and with gates to open. The track on the left doubles back to Fron-fraith dwelling.

The remains of Waunllefenni farmstead Still with a roof of sorts, but essentially derelict. The odd outbuilding may still be used.
