Dist:0.5km<br/>1869 chapel situated on a crossroads along with a pub and a small collection of houses, a couple of miles west of Cilgerran. The banded stone construction is typical of the area.

Dist:0.9km<br/>The rocky hillock above the farmyard has been described in The Gatehouse Gazetteer of Medieval Fortifications as: "A roughly rectangular promontory enclosure, with a bank and ditch to the N and E, whilst steep natural slopes complete the circuit on the S and w sides. Thought to be either a medieval earthwork castle or an Iron Age defended enclosure." Unfortunately there seems to be no public access. A farm of the same name stands below, to the right of this picture.

Dist:1.1km south<br/>Substantial farm on high land southwest of Bridell. Frost pockets on either side of the track but the house catches the sunshine.

Dist:1.2km north<br/>The usual Pmbrokeshire field boundary is constructed by using a combination of stones, earth and turf, often with a hedge planted on top. This one is formed by closely packed vertical slates, giving the appearance of the leaves of a book. It runs along the top of a field where the underlying rock stratum is close to the surface but I could not determine whether it was natural or handmade.

Dist:1.2km southwest<br/>A very old dead beech trunk hosted a large number of these. This one, slightly resembling a woolly bobble-hat, shows the annual growth layers very clearly.

Dist:1.2km west<br/>In this view the trees on the opposite slope of the valley, on the right hand side in the image, are growing up the side of an ancient fortified position, Castellforganol, about which I can find no information.

Dist:1.3km southwest<br/>A patchwork landscape of wooded river valleys and quiet pasture, but dotted here and there with old hill forts reminding us that this was once a territory of conflict and dispute. The castle at Cilgerran changed hands several times during the Norman and Mediaeval periods.
