Panorama from Bwlch-y-Clawdd above Nant-y-Moel over Cwm Parc, 1962
Marvellous view northward on the A4061 over the saddle of mountains separating the Ogwr Fawr to the south from the Cwm Parc branch off the Rhondda Fach valley. Beyond, the skyline is formed by the Cefn Rhondda mountains, rising to 1,600 ft. NE of Treorchy and Treherbert. The large Cwm Parc Colliery still dominated the Cwm in 1962 but closed in 1966.
