SN8704 : Spoil heaps above Blaengwrach
near to Cwmgwrach, Neath Port Talbot, Great Britain

Spoil heaps above Blaengwrach
The track here runs between some pretty decent fields in this large area of spoil so it was quite odd to see sheep grazing the sparse grass on the large heap in the mid ground. There are a couple of farm houses around here. Ownership went with the mine and they used to be leased out and worked. Now they are abandoned but the fields still seem to be used.
