Our local "magic valley" -- deep and spectacular, and in places more like a gorge. A windy narrow road, so don't drive along it if you are in a hurry! Many traditions of supernatural happenings.....

Our local mountain range! Not very high, but very beautiful, windswept, treeless and craggy. Sheep and horses roam freely. Prehistoric features all over the place. But take care -- the weather can change quickly, and if you are not well prepared there is always a danger of exposure.

A strange little village on the south side of Mynydd Preseli, dominated by the old slate quarries. There is a lovely "quarryman's row" of cottages, and a community owned and very quirky "Tafarn Sinc" -- one of the few corrugated iron hostelries still in use.
