Two Valleys

The last of my photos from my visit to Llandegley. These were taken from abend in the road I stopped near Crugerydd Castle (Crug Eryr Castle)

This way you look down the valley towards Llandegley

The other way towards Aberedw Hill

I think the hill on the left here is called Bwlch-Y-Cefn Bank

                

  This is Crugerydd Castle (Crug Eryr Castle) which overlooks both places

Last look down the Valley towards Aberedw

Gilfach Nature Reserve

Today I thought I'd share something a bit different a nature reserve called Gilfach. I came across it a few years ago when my Wife & I  had a  little drive around after visiting the Elan Valley.  I found then the Crambrian Railway ran by the valley you can some of the walks and more views in the link

Plenty of information boards like this around to read

Sculptures like this are new to me

well though of picnic areas

 The old railway bridge  now takes a trail across to walk on

 Road through the valley

 Worth stopping to look at

Heather abounds

Dog roses too

Lost Railway

You may find this hard to believe but just over 52 years ago a railway ran by this river in Wales, it's just below the dark green conifer trees behind an embankment. It was closed in 1961 in the Beeching cutbacks.

The old rail line is now used as a footpath.
