Close to the road and at the end of a boardwalk. Fantastic for dragonflies and damselflies. text/html 2007-08-03T23:09:57GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/15923 Nick Toulson 51.932953 -3.277121 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/514872 This boundary runs down to the edge of Llangors or Llangorse Lake (depending on your own personal preference). There's a public right of way along the edge of the wall which also stops at the lake edge. text/html 2007-07-25T00:10:13GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/15923 Nick Toulson 51.764346 -3.568266 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/504274 Some of the industrial heritage to be found alongside the Afon Mellte at Pontneddfechan.

The track on the right is a more modern (dismantled in the 1970's?) embankment. The original line followed the contour of the hill, whereas the later route took a more direct route using much larger embankments. This feature is not featured on the 1:50000 OS map but is on the 1:25000 OSmap. text/html 2007-07-19T00:16:13GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/15923 Nick Toulson 51.796164 -3.246424 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/498467 This (ubiquitous) mobile phone mast sits along side the former rail line that carried limestone from Cwar y Hendre to the iron and steel works at Ebbw Vale. Timber sleepers and some of the original stone sleepers can be seen along this bridleway. text/html 2007-07-19T00:06:43GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/15923 Nick Toulson 51.819209 -3.285653 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/498461 Local anecdotes indicate that this table was used by the Duke of Beaufort and his hunting party for their lavish mid-hunt lunch, with water gathered from a nearby spring. The outer circle is the seating and the inner circle the table. text/html 2007-07-18T23:53:27GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/15923 Nick Toulson 51.894794 -3.296820 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/498442 This footpath leaves the road at Cui bridge and crosses farmland. The bridge itself is new in construction having replaced an earlier bridge. The signpost is in fact an interpretation panel, one of many, highlighting some of the work of a local poet Henry Vaughan- Come then, my God! Shine on this blood, And water in one beam, and thou shalt see, Kindled by thee, both liquors burn, and stream. text/html 2007-07-18T23:40:01GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/15923 Nick Toulson 51.903414 -3.297941 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/498420 This war memorial is located between the villages of Pencelli and Talybont-on-Usk and is the most prominent feature within this grid square. text/html 2007-07-18T23:29:42GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/15923 Nick Toulson 51.873622 -3.267740 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/498405 This church is located just above the river Usk and below the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal. text/html 2007-07-18T23:23:10GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/15923 Nick Toulson 51.873363 -3.266716 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/498394 This was a narrow banked and hedged track to the east of Llanddetty church and looking at the overgrown gate through which the photo was taken not a well used track. There were other geograph opportunities in the area but this was more 'intriguing' than the church. It's not marked on the 1:50000 map, but it is on the 1:25000 map.
