Reservoir water tower on the Upper Llew.
Reservoir water tower on the Upper Llew.
Upper Lliw reservoir wall. This is the view looking south down the east bank of the reservoir towards the dam wall at the south and the tower at the southwest end of the reservoir.
Penlle'r Castell settlement, Betws Mountain. A Medieval settlement surrounded by ditch and bank. This protected site is just 2 minutes walk from the roadside, yet no one passing would even know it existed.
Cwm Dulais. Old tracks at a disused colliery provide access to the bottom of the valley from the better road above. The tracks on the hill opposite show how the relative isolation allows unofficial motorsports.
