Dist:0.4km<br/>From the hill above Adpar: cumulus clouds threaten further precipitation; this is an area of rich pasture land well-watered from the west.

Dist:0.5km<br/>These are Oxford Down sheep and lambs - very distinctive facially - and beautiful. This confident little lamb approached when I called and was curious, intelligent and adventurous.

Dist:0.6km<br/>What a desperate name has been conferred by the two eponymous farms, higher and lower, to this tidy hamlet north of Adpar!

Dist:0.6km<br/>The road from the north dips down into the settlement of Adpar which is contiguous, via the bridge over the Teifi, with Newcastle Emlyn whose church tower can be seen in the distance here. Adpar used to be a borough in its own right. It has been suggested that the name derives from At-pawr (At-Pori) - meaning a good 'second crop' for grazing in the rich Teifi valley pasture lands. When English settlers arrived in the area Atpawr became known as Atpar and over the years changed yet again to Adpar. The original Welsh name was Trehedyn (seed place?)

Dist:0.6km<br/>Site, it would seem, of a C16 inn, replaced by a shop 500 years later, and now housing a veterinary practice (which would have been useful to the old drovers transporting valuable beef and pork on the hoof!)

Dist:0.6km<br/>The B4571 passes through the village and beside the road is a K6 type telephone box. In 1935, the Post Office commissioned a new kiosk from Sir Giles Gilbert Scott to celebrate the Jubilee of King George V. The K6 Jubilee Kiosk, as it is known, was similar to the K2 box, being made of cast iron and painted red but was 25% lighter in weight. By the end of the 1930s there were 20,000 K6 telephone boxes in use all over the UK.
