Since coal extraction has ceased, the pit has flooded to form a lake.

https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7237004
A small depression in the middle of the dried out lake bed looks a likely candidate for the hole this turlough fills and drains through. Unfortunately it doesn't show very well in this photo. It's centre-shot with a log fallen in to it.text/html2022-07-24T19:49:42+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/860Nigel Davies51.831114 -4.024124SN6016 : Pantllyn Turlough, dried out
https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7236981
The prolonged hot spell has completely drained or evaporated the lake, allowing me to stand on the cracked lake bed and take this shot.text/html2022-06-11T13:21:16+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/860Nigel Davies51.787226 -3.966189SN6411 : Odd Machine House by Nant y Ffin
https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7198028
A public footpath leaves Heol Waun Ddwfn heading south, upstream alongside Nant y Ffin. Not long afterwards it passes a little waterfall next to which sits this abandoned machine house. Inside, the arched brick structure is now empty but the floor looks to have had a platform for machinery. The door is on the downstream wall and there are holes - some original - in the upstream and riverside walls too.

A public footpath leaves Heol Waun Ddwfn heading south, upstream alongside Nant y Ffin. Not long afterwards it passes this little waterfall (and the adjacent abandoned brick machine house)

https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7136937
The northern end of the golf course seen while descending the path over Carreg Dwfn. The course is split either side of Glynhir Road, which appears centre shot bounded by hedges.text/html2022-04-03T15:23:01+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/860Nigel Davies51.800596 -3.999840SN6213 : Confluence of the Lash and the Loughor
https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7136837
The Loughor flows from right to left. The Lash enters from back of shot, creating a small pebble beach on the SE bank of the Loughor from which this photo is taken.text/html2021-10-10T14:53:35+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/860Nigel Davies51.807586 -3.875833SN7013 : Old Milestone on Amman Valley Cycleway

Situated on the north border of the cycle path, just west of the bridge where this former railway crosses the River Amman.text/html2017-10-11T20:43:13+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/860Nigel Davies51.770252 -3.859936SN7109 : Gate at Awel Aman Tawe Community Wind Farm
https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5566397
A new track has been laid across the common here to approach the wind farm construction site from the south. Here near the start is a kissing gate, vehicle gate and horse pass after quite a wide section which is convenient for parking. Further north the new track merges with an existing track that rounds the head of the Egel valley and joins Gwrhyd Road.text/html2017-10-11T20:34:12+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/860Nigel Davies51.780630 -3.846155SN7210 : Southern Wind Turbine at Awel Aman Tawe Community Wind Farm
https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5566387
This is the southernmost of the 2 turbines in the wind farm [[5566378]]. This turbine lies on enclosed land together with the substation. This is a view from the adjacent track.text/html2017-10-11T20:26:23+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/860Nigel Davies51.781208 -3.843715SN7210 : Awel Aman Tawe Community Wind Farm
https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5566378
This is a view of the two turbines and substation of Awel Aman Tawe's Community Wind Farm on Mynydd Gwrhyd, as seen from the approaching track across the common which was laid to construct it. The project originally wanted five turbines but had to settle for two due to the visual impact.

The documents mention "Mynydd Gwrhyd" but this name does not appear on the OS maps here at the head of the Egel Valley. The OS label it Penlle'r Fedwen, with "Gwrhyd" being used on the roads and farms across on the east side of the valley.text/html2017-10-07T14:35:22+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/860Nigel Davies51.809363 -3.843123SN7313 : Cyclepath bridge over River Amman
https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5562049
The cycle path that approached from Cefnbrynbrain to the east used to stop at the river. This new bridge has allowed it to extend further west.
