Man-moel Road The road leads from the village of Manmoel over Cefn Manmoel (although strangely the road name has a hypen and the other two don't). It is part of the Sirhowy Valley Walk, but is also driveable with care (it gets worse). I did wonder whether this was a fellow geographer parked up here but I have not seen any photographic evidence yet.
