Cefn Coed-Y-Cymmer - An early evening walk



This is just a sample of the countryside right outside Steve's doorstep!

The route passed under the curving Cefn viaduct which formerly carried the railway over the River Taff but which is now part of the Taff Trail, Route 8 of the National Cycleway.

The village itself is situated in the neck of land between the rivers Taf Fawr and Taf Fechan, at their confluence (Welsh translation: 'cymer')

A fine example of a limestone slab as you pass under the Cefn viaduct.



Typical back-country bridle path on way to Cefn Penmailard.



Sluce gate (a water channel that is controlled at its head by a gate [from the Dutch word 'sluis']) for the Tai Mawr leat.



Views of Pwll (English translation: 'pool') Tear Bridge.





Limestone quarry cut into mountainside at Darren Fawr below Cefn Cil-Sanws.



Quiet secluded spot for contemplation.



The warm weather has provided perfect conditions for the Magnolia Blossom.
